Relates to retention of records relating to certain acts of alleged misconduct
This bill modifies education law to change how schools handle records of alleged misconduct. It requires schools to delete most such records after five years unless the misconduct involves specific serious cases covered under certain criminal or civil laws. Schools must retain those exception records only until the legal time limit for prosecution expires. The law directly affects school districts and their record-keeping practices, with immediate effective date. It does not alter criminal procedures but clarifies school retention rules for alleged misconduct reports.
