House Bill No. 1937 amends existing legislation regarding student communication in schools. The bill introduces a definition for "student" as a person enrolled in a public or charter school who is working towards obtaining a standard high school diploma or equivalency. It also clarifies that school personnel must include a student's parent or legal guardian in any electronic or digital communication, unless the communication occurs on a school-approved platform related to academic matters. Exceptions to this requirement can be made in emergencies as determined by the local school board, with subsequent notification to the parent or guardian.

Additionally, the bill modifies the procedures for handling incidents involving school personnel accused of violating communication protocols. It removes the requirement for incidents to be noted in the employee's file if no misconduct is found, and instead mandates that such findings be documented in the employee's file upon reinstatement after an investigation. The bill also stipulates that school personnel under investigation must be placed on administrative leave, and if misconduct is confirmed, appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken according to district policies. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
