Summary

The bill forces teachers, administrators and other school employees to notify the Department of Human Services and local police right away when they suspect a student under 18 is being abused, and to report any allegation involving a school employee to law enforcement before any school investigation. It also sets new rules for electronic communication with students, requiring parents or guardians to be copied unless the message is on a school‑approved platform, with penalties for violations.
