CT HB06682

Boards of education must adopt a policy or memorandum of understanding with law enforcement agencies regarding sworn police officers assigned to schools, addressing daily interactions between students and school personnel with law enforcement and use of a graduated response model for student discipline.

Strategic school profile reports submitted by boards of education must now include measures of school-based arrests disaggregated by school, race, ethnicity, gender, age, students with disabilities, English language learners, and type of offense.

The Department of Education shall make disaggregated school-based arrest data available through the public school information system for transparency and public access.

"School-based arrest" is defined as an arrest of an enrolled student on school property during the school day or at a school-sponsored activity conducted on or off school property.

The act takes effect July 1, 2013, and amends section 10-220 of the general statutes.
