§ 22.1-280.1. Reports of certain acts to school authorities.

A. Any attempted or actual physical injury, including "unlawful woundings," maimings, and homicides, other than involuntary manslaughter, committed by a student on school personnel shall be reported to the principal or his designee. Similar reports shall be made to the principal or his designee on all incidents involving the death, shooting, stabbing, cutting, or wounding of any person, the illegal carrying of a firearm onto school property or any conduct involving alcohol, marijuana, a controlled substance, imitation controlled substance, or an anabolic steroid on a school bus, on school property, or at a school-sponsored activity. The principal or his designee shall semiannually submit a report of all such incidents to the superintendent of the school division. The division superintendent shall annually report all such incidents to the Department of Education for the purpose of recording the frequency of such incidents on forms which shall be provided by the Department. A division superintendent who knowingly fails to comply or secure compliance with the reporting requirements of this section shall be subject to the sanctions authorized in § 22.1-65.

B. A statement providing a procedure and the purpose for the requirements of subsection A shall be included in the policy manual of all school divisions.

The Board of Education shall promulgate regulations to implement this section including, but not limited to, the reporting date and the format of the reports.
