Bill > SB2087

This bill requires school principals or their designees to notify parents or legal guardians of students who were evacuated from a classroom due to another student's violent, aggressive, or severely disruptive behavior. A "classroom evacuation" is defined as removing students from a classroom because another student's behavior creates a safety concern or significantly disrupts instruction. This notification must occur by the end of the school day the evacuation happened, unless the incident is an ongoing emergency or under law enforcement investigation, in which case notification can be delayed. The notification must state that an evacuation occurred, briefly describe the general reason for it, and outline the safety steps taken by the school, but it cannot disclose information about the student who caused the disruption or other students if it violates privacy laws like FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act). Schools will also need to keep records of these evacuations and notifications, and local school boards must adopt policies to implement these requirements, with the law taking effect on July 1, 2026.
