Modifies provisions governing student attendance data reported for school accreditation processes
HB 1220 requires school districts to adopt written discipline policies covering corporal punishment procedures (requiring parental written consent), annual staff training on discipline and student safety, and specific reporting protocols for violent acts. The bill mandates schools to report to law enforcement any incidents involving 25 specific crimes (like assault, sexual offenses, or weapon possession) committed on school property or during school activities, and to share relevant student safety information with staff who interact with the student. It also adds a condition for suspended students: they cannot be within 1,000 feet of school property without supervision or specific authorization, except in limited cases like living nearby or attending an alternative school. This bill directly affects public school districts, students, parents, and school staff by altering discipline policies and safety reporting requirements. The bill was introduced in February 2025 and referred to a committee for review. (Note: The bill title mentions "attendance data," but the provided text focuses on discipline and safety policies, not attendance reporting.)
