This bill mandates that school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, charter schools, and innovation zone schools must place certain employees on administrative leave under specific circumstances. The new legal language added to the existing law specifies that an employee must be placed on administrative leave if they have a case pending before the board of educational examiners related to child abuse with a finding of probable cause, or if they were involved in a criminal or civil action where a court found them negligent while employed by the school, and the school is conducting an investigation into the employee's actions.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any employee placed on administrative leave must remain in that status until the conclusion of the case before the board of educational examiners or the school's investigation. The bill introduces new paragraphs in sections 256E.7 and 256F.4, ensuring compliance with the requirements of section 280.36 regarding administrative leave procedures.
