Bill > SB1255

This bill introduces two new sections to Arizona school safety and reporting regulations. The first section (15-120.05) requires public schools and local education agencies to post a link on their websites to the most recent civil rights data collection survey information submitted to the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, with the important caveat that any personally identifiable student data must be redacted to comply with federal student privacy laws (specifically the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act). The second section (15-249.08) mandates that the Arizona Department of Education compile and submit an annual school safety report by December 15th to the governor, senate president, and house speaker, which must include data on school safety incidents, law enforcement referrals, and school climate information. This report will be collected from publicly available sources and the civil rights data collection survey, and must be posted on the department's website in a publicly accessible format. The bill aims to increase transparency about school safety and incidents while ensuring student privacy is protected.
