AI Summary

  • Creates legal definitions for "threat assessment" (written documentation identifying a student's threat to commit violence, evaluating that threat, and developing an intervention plan) and "suicide assessment" (written documentation identifying a student's threat of self-harm, evaluating that threat, and developing a prevention plan).

  • Requires schools to transfer threat or suicide assessment documents to a new public school when a student transfers and the new school or someone acting on behalf of the student requests the student's records.

  • Applies to transfers between all public schools, including traditional public schools, charter schools authorized by school districts, state-chartered schools, and pilot schools.

  • Does not require schools to proactively transfer threat or suicide assessments if no records request is made by the new school or student.

  • Includes out-of-home placement students and requires child welfare education liaisons to ensure threat and suicide assessments are transferred with other education records when placement changes occur.
