Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill allows a school board to go into closed session for the purpose of discussing, developing, reviewing, or approving a school safety plan. Under current law, a school board is required to meet in open session for these purposes. An open session is a meeting that is held in a place reasonably accessible to members of the public and open to all citizens at all times. The bill also provides that school safety plans are not subject to inspection or copying under open records law.
