HB2706: School officials; reports of certain incidents, subsequent reports to law enforcement.

Legislative Summary

Reports of certain incidents to school officials; recipients; subsequent reports to law enforcement. Requires reports of eight enumerated types of school-related incidents, including incidents involving alcohol, marijuana, a controlled substance, an imitation controlled substance, or an anabolic steroid on a school bus, on school property, or at a school-sponsored activity, including the theft or attempted theft of student prescription medications, to be made to the members of the school board in addition to the requirement in current law to report such incidents to the division superintendent and the principal or his designee. The bill also requires the school principal to subsequently report some such incidents that may involve a criminal offense to the local law-enforcement agency as soon as practicable but no later than 24 hours after receiving the report of the incident. Current law requires such reports to be made immediately but does not establish a reporting deadline of any specific length.
