State Department of Education - Sexual Abuse and Sexual Misconduct Model Response Policy - Requirements

Added a new requirement stating the model policy must not impede or compromise the ability of law enforcement and prosecutors to conduct thorough, unbiased investigations.

Updated record retention rules by removing a specific 1-year requirement for all emails and replacing it with a minimum 3-year retention requirement specifically for credible allegations of sexual abuse or misconduct by employees.

Added a requirement for the model policy to include a link to a centralized, statewide resource platform for reporting incidents and accessing support services.

Reorganized the definition of 'Serious Incident' to list specific examples (such as credible allegations resulting in removal for more than 10 days, physical assault, and offenses involving a weapon) more clearly.

Corrected a typo in the definition of 'Response Response Policy' to read 'Sexual Abuse and Misconduct Response Policy' and adjusted formatting and line breaks throughout the text.
