Bill > A300

Introduced Session

This bill requires each school district to develop and implement a policy requiring all students, teachers, school administrators, and other school employees to have a school identification (ID) card. The ID card must be clearly visible at all times while the student or employee is in a school building when school is in session. Under the bill, the Commissioner of Education will develop guidelines concerning the information to be included on the employee ID card. At a minimum, the information will include the name of the student or employee, an up-to-date photograph, the current school year, and in the case of an employee, the employee's position or affiliation with the school or school district. The bill also requires the commissioner to examine whether the student identification cards should be used for school purposes in addition to identification, such as purchasing meals, access to library materials, and admittance to school-sponsored activities. The bill also requires each school district to develop and implement a policy requiring any visitor to the school to have a visitor pass, and that screening procedures are utilized to monitor visitor entry and access to school facilities.
