An Act relative to parental notification in public schools

This bill requires public school principals or superintendents in Massachusetts to notify parents within 24 hours if law enforcement is called to the school for arrests or safety activities beyond the duties of a school resource officer. The notification must include the time law enforcement arrived, the general reason for their presence without identifying specific students or staff, and the time they left the premises. The law explicitly states that this reporting requirement does not limit an officer's authority to make arrests or delay action in urgent situations involving bodily harm, armed suspects, evidence destruction, or emergencies.
