What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
