Introduced by: Stephen D. Newman (by request) | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Claims; Floyd and Karen Hall. Provides $50,000 in relief to Floyd and Karen Hall (the "Halls"). The Hall's daughter, Ms. Lisa Renee Hall ("Ms. Hall"), took her life in 1995. Ms. Hall spoke with school personnel about her suicidal thoughts. The Halls were never informed of these discussions by school personnel or Ms. Hall. Additionally, Ms. Hall never informed her parents of her suicidal thoughts. The Halls brought litigation against the local school board but did not prevail in Bedford County. The 1999 Session of the General Assembly passed SB 1250 that requires licensed school personnel, in certain circumstances, to contact a parent of a student whom they believe is at imminent risk of suicide.
