Requires principals or designees to provide immediate notification to parents after a student is removed for an involuntary examination under section 394.463, and must explain the reason or situation that prompted the removal.

Allows principals to omit prior notification to parents if they deem it in the student's best interest and a report has been submitted to the central abuse hotline based on suspected abuse, abandonment, or neglect.

Applies requirements to both public school districts and charter schools, requiring each to develop notification policies and procedures.

Effective date is July 1, 2019.
