Education - Student Behavior - Parent and Guardian Notice and Required Counseling (Parent and Guardian Accountability Act)
Hearing (House)
Summary
The bill requires school principals to send a written notice to a parent when their child commits two or more violent or disruptive acts in a school year. The notice obligates the parent to seek and attend counseling with the student, and failing to do so is illegal and may lead to court‑ordered community service. It applies to all public‑school students and their parents in Maryland.
