Summary:
|
Policy updated to (1) expand the concept of district provided transportation, (2) reflect NEW LAW (SB 906, 2022) which requires certificated and classified employees of the district, and other school officials such as Governing Board members, whose duties bring the employee or other school official in contact on a regular basis with students in any of grades 6-12, as part of a middle school or high school, who are alerted to or observe any threat or perceived threat of a homicidal act, to immediately report the threat or perceived threat to law enforcement, (3) move language regarding student suspension and expulsion in order to keep related content together, and (4) add language regarding staff training to align with staff responsibilities to report potential homicidal acts.
The regulation was updated to expand the list of prohibited weapons and dangerous instruments to include additional items that are listed in the law. The regulation was also updated to add headings for the Options regarding tear gas or tear gas weapons and to emphasize that for districts that allow students to bring tear gas of tear gas weapons to school, the student needs to either be accompanied by or have written consent, of a parent/guardian.
