School principals or board designees must notify teachers and parents of violent incidents on school grounds or at school-sponsored activities where individuals suffer injuries within 24 hours if practicable, or no later than 48 hours after the incident.

Notice must indicate whether the school is aware of videos or recordings of the violent activity and must be delivered to a parent's consented email address or mobile application.

Schools must also notify teachers and parents when a dangerous weapon is brandished or confiscated on school grounds or at school-sponsored activities.

Notice must not contain names or identifying characteristics of any students involved in the incidents, and parents who have not provided contact information may receive no notice at the school's discretion.

Charter schools and school districts are prohibited from retaliating against teachers or school employees for reporting, discussing, or publicizing incidents of school violence or dangerous conduct, with the provision effective for the 2024-2025 school year and later.
