1
An Act
to renumber and amend
118.164 (1);
to create
118.164 (1) (a),
2
118.164 (4) and 118.164 (5) of the statutes;
relating to:
notifying parents if a
3
pupil is removed from the classroom.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires a school principal employed by a school district to notify the parent or guardian of each pupil in a class each time that a pupil is removed from the class and, as a result of the removal, the quality or quantity of instructional time provided to the pupils in the class in diminished. Under the bill, the notice to parents and guardians must be in writing and delivered as soon as is practicable following the removal. In general, the notice must be provided electronically and by no later than 5 p.m. on the day of the removal. However, if a parent or guardian has refused to accept electronic communication, the notice must be provided by first class mail. The bill also specifies that this type of notice is required if an entire class is removed from the classroom for purposes of safety drills that are required by law. Finally, the bill requires each principal to annually report to the school board the number of removals at the principal’s school that required parental notification in the previous school year, and each school board to annually report the same information for all the schools under its charge to the Department of Public Instruction.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
