Bill > A00064

This bill requires courts to notify a child's school on the same day an order of protection or temporary order of protection is issued when the child is the protected party. Specifically, the bill amends existing laws to mandate that if a court issues a protective order involving a child who attends a school in New York, the court must confidentially notify the school superintendent, principal, or other school administrator by mail, fax, or secure electronic document. The notification is required when the order requires a parent or legally responsible person to stay away from the child's school. The bill also adds orders of protection to the list of student data elements that school districts are not required to report to the state department of education. Additionally, the bill modifies provisions related to releasing a minor from school, allowing schools to consider orders of protection when determining who can pick up a student. The legislation aims to enhance child safety by ensuring schools are promptly informed about protective orders that may impact a student's security, while also maintaining the confidentiality of such sensitive information.
