HB 964 Child protective services.
Introduced by: Thomas M. Jackson, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Child protective services. Removes employees of local school boards from the child protective services system. The bill provides that, if a complaint is made that an employee of a local school board has abused or neglected a child, the complaint will be made to the division superintendent and to the attorney for the Commonwealth. Reports of abuse and neglect by employees of local school boards will no longer be investigated by local departments of social services. The provisions regarding the central registry will no longer apply to teachers, so they will not be listed in the registry if they are convicted of child abuse in a criminal case. Persons who are mandatory reporters of child abuse and neglect will still be required to report suspected cases of abuse and neglect by teachers, and teachers will remain mandatory reporters, as well. Employees in private schools will still be subject to investigation.
