SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

Suspension and expulsion of students; parental notification. Requires the school principal or his administrative designee to exercise reasonable efforts to notify the parents of any student who violates a school board policy or the compulsory school attendance requirements when such violation could result in the student's suspension, long-term suspension, or expulsion or the filing of a court petition.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Certain statements of students; admissibility; parental notification. Provides that statements made by a student to a school employee as a result of an interrogation are inadmissible in a delinquency proceeding unless the student's custodian was present at the time the statement was made. The bill also makes mandatory the notification of the parents of any student who violates certain school board policy or compulsory school attendance requirements and allows such notification to be made by an administrative designee as well as the school principal.
