Bill > HB3065

This bill amends the Illinois School Code to enhance parental notification requirements regarding student misconduct and discipline. The bill defines "misconduct" as incidents involving offensive touching, physical altercations, or violence, and requires schools to provide written notification to parents or guardians when such incidents occur. If a student makes a written statement about misconduct (either as the perpetrator or the target), the school must provide that statement to the parent or guardian upon request, in compliance with student privacy laws. When a disciplinary investigation is completed, the school must provide a detailed disciplinary report to both the parent of the student who committed the misconduct and the parent of the student who was the target of the misconduct within two school days. The report must include a description of the misconduct, disciplinary actions taken, the school's rationale for those actions, and any restorative justice measures implemented, while ensuring that individual student identities are protected through redaction in accordance with federal and state privacy regulations.
