AB 773

This bill requires the Department of Instruction (DPI) to operate a one-year

pilot program during the 2016-17 school year; under the pilot program three school

districts must maintain records of crimes and other incidents, such as bullying and

violations of local ordinances, that occur on school district property, on

transportation provided by the school district, or at a school district sanctioned

event. Under the bill, a school district participating in the pilot program must report

its aggregate data on crimes and other incidents to DPI twice: once halfway through

the school year and once at the end of the school year. After receiving the

participating school districts' reports, DPI is required to report to the legislature

aggregate data derived from the reports submitted by the participating school

districts. Finally, the bill requires a participating school district to omit or redact any

personally identifiable information before releasing any records it maintains under

the pilot program and prohibits a participating school district from including the

identity of any individual involved in a crime or other incident in a report submitted

to DPI under the pilot program.
