SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Communications between licensed instructional personnel and students. Provides that no licensed instructional personnel employed by a local school board pursuant to a probationary or continuing contract be required to testify in any custody action involving a current or former student, when the testimony involves the disclosure of personal information communicated to the teacher by a student seeking advice and counsel within the teacher-student relationship regarding the information so imparted.

Mirroring other confidentiality statutes, the measure provides exceptions for cases in which the physical or mental condition of the student is at issue, for judicial discretion, and for reporting child abuse and neglect.
