Analysis by the 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.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
