HB 1104 Information regarding certain offenses committed by students.

Introduced by: James F. Almand | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Information regarding certain offenses committed by students. Allows a principal, after he receives the information from the division superintendent, to disseminate information received from the court clerk regarding adjudications or convictions of a student for certain serious crimes to licensed instructional personnel and other school personnel providing direct educational and support services to the student who have a legitimate educational interest in such information. Under current law, the superintendent may only share adjudication and conviction information with school personnel responsible for the management of student records, specifically, the principal of the school in which the student is enrolled and other relevant school personnel, and only if the student poses a danger to himself or others or to facilitate an appropriate educational placement. This bill also removes the requirement that, for dissemination beyond the principal and record managers, the student must pose a danger to himself or others or that the disclosure will facilitate the student's appropriate educational placement or other educational services.
