Bill > HB3228

This bill establishes provisions to protect teachers in Missouri by granting them immunity from liability when they intervene in incidents involving violence to protect themselves or students. Specifically, a teacher is shielded from legal responsibility if they follow school procedures for intervention or if they act in good faith and reasonably believe their actions are justified under state law regarding self-defense. The bill also extends this immunity to school districts and charter schools for a teacher's actions, provided the teacher adheres to the section's requirements. However, this protection does not cover teachers who engage in willful and wanton misconduct or gross negligence, and schools are prohibited from enacting policies that would prevent teachers from defending themselves or students.
