What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Beginning in the 2023-24 school year, this bill requires public high schools and

private high schools participating in a parental choice program to collect statistics

on violations of municipal disorderly conduct ordinances and certain crimes,

including homicide, sexual assault, burglary, battery, and arson, that occur on school

property, on transportation provided by the school, or at school-sanctioned events.

The high school must collect statistics about the crime or disorderly conduct only if

a) it occurred on a weekday between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.; b) it is reported

to law enforcement; and c) a charge is filed or citation is issued. The bill further

requires that the collected statistics be reported to the Department of Public

Instruction and included on the annual school and school district accountability

report. Finally, the bill clarifies that DPI may not consider crimes statistics reported

by a school or school district for purposes of determining a school or school district's

performance on the annual school and school district accountability report.
