Summary
The bill mandates that any electronic or digital communication a school employee sends to a student must also include the student's parent or legal guardian, unless the message is on a school‑approved platform or an emergency. It also lets districts place staff on administrative leave while investigating alleged violations, and requires reinstatement and a clear record if no misconduct is found. The changes aim to increase transparency and protect both students and employees.
