Introduced by: Robert D. (Bobby) Orrock, Sr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Child protective services; corporal punishment by school personnel. Clarifies within the child abuse and neglect statute that teachers, principals or other persons employed by a school board or employed in a school operated by the Commonwealth are prohibited from subjecting a student to corporal punishment. The bill distinguishes that the definitions of "corporal punishment" or "abused or neglected child" shall not include physical pain, injury or discomfort caused by the use of incidental, minor or reasonable physical contact or other actions designed to maintain order and control or the use of reasonable and necessary force to quell a disturbance or remove a student from the scene of a disturbance that threatens physical injury to persons or damage to property, to prevent a student from inflicting physical harm on himself, for self-defense or the defense of others, or to obtain possession of weapons or other dangerous objects or controlled substances or paraphernalia that are upon the person of the student or within his control, or by participation in practice or competition in an interscholastic sport, or participation in physical education or an extracurricular activity. In determining whether a person was acting within these exceptions, the local department of social services shall examine whether the person's actions at the time of the event were reasonable.
