SB 1244 Reporting of student offenses to school authorities.
Introduced by: J. Randy Forbes | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)
Reporting of student offenses to school authorities. Permits local law-enforcement authorities to report, and school principals to receive such reports, on student offenses, wherever committed, that would be a felony if committed by an adult or would be an adult misdemeanor involving any of the at-school drug, weapons, or violence-related incidents already required to be reported to school officials. Principals are to contact the parents of students involved in these incidents, and the student must participate in appropriate intervention and prevention activities. In addition, a principal who knowingly fails to comply or secure compliance with these reporting requirements will be subject to sanctions prescribed by the local school board, which may include, but need not be limited to, demotion or dismissal. Under current law, courts must report student convictions or adjudications of certain crimes pursuant to § 16.1-305.1; in addition, incidents involving drugs, weapons, or violence on school property or at school events, regardless of any arrest or conviction, are now reported to school authorities, who then relay an annual report of these incidents to the division superintendent.
