Bill > A00032

This bill, known as the "parent's right to know act," requires public school districts and other schools serving minors to adopt a policy that provides for timely notification to a parent or legal guardian of a student when an employee, volunteer, or administrator of the school district is reprimanded for inappropriate conduct towards that student. The bill defines key terms such as "employee," "volunteer," and "administrator," and specifies that the notification must be provided as soon as reasonably practicable after the superintendent, school board, or authorized board member provides a written censure, reprimand, or other written advice to the individual regarding their inappropriate conduct. The bill also includes a provision stating that it will not impair any contradictory provisions in existing collective bargaining agreements, which will expire no later than the expiration date of those agreements.
