The bill introduces a new requirement for immediate law enforcement notification regarding criminal actions on public school property. Specifically, it mandates that any certificated or classified school employee, or a school contractor, who is aware of or suspects an assault, theft, or destruction of property occurring or about to occur on school district property must promptly report this information to the appropriate law enforcement agency and school administrator.

This new section, added to chapter 28A.320 RCW, ensures that the notification requirements apply not only to traditional school districts but also to charter schools and state-tribal education compact schools, thereby standardizing the response to criminal activities across various educational institutions.
