This bill adds a new provision to current law stating that the state, acting as the temporary guardian for children in public schools, has a duty to protect those children. The bill emphasizes that children are in public schools because of state requirements and do not have their parents with them during school hours. Therefore, the state has an obligation to use reasonable care to protect the child during those hours.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law. It will take effect 60 days after its passage.
