Introduced by: Robert Tata | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Hazing; Board of Education's guidelines and model policies for and school boards' regulations on codes of student conduct. Requires the Board of Education to include hazing in its guidelines and model policies for codes of student conduct and school boards to prohibit hazing in their codes of student conduct. In addition, school boards must cite, in their standards for student conduct, the provisions of the criminal law prohibiting hazing, which renders convictions of violations a Class 1 misdemeanor, i.e., confinement in jail for not more than 12 months and a fine of not more than $2,500, either or both. In the past year, several high-profile and disturbing cases of hazing among high school athletic teams or cheerleaders have occurred in other states with devastating results to high school teachers, coaches, and administrators and the students and communities.
