The bill amends existing legislation regarding electronic or digital communications between students and school personnel, specifically addressing the inclusion of an "alternate adult" in such communications. An "alternate adult" is defined as a case manager or designated employee from a homeless shelter or similar organization who is assigned to a student identified as homeless. The bill requires that before including an alternate adult in communications, the school must obtain written verification that the student's parent or legal guardian has been informed and has not objected to this designation. Additionally, the alternate adult must notify the school of any significant changes in the student's circumstances.

The bill also updates definitions related to students and school personnel, clarifying that "student" refers to individuals enrolled in public or charter schools seeking a high school diploma or equivalency. It mandates that school personnel include the student's parent, legal guardian, or alternate adult in electronic communications unless it is an emergency or on a school-approved platform. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that school personnel must make reasonable efforts to use platforms that automatically include these parties in communications. Violations of these requirements will lead to administrative leave for the personnel involved while an investigation is conducted.
