Senate Bill 234 mandates that all school boards, operators of independent charter schools, and governing bodies of private schools participating in parental choice programs or the Special Needs Scholarship Program must display a sign in a prominent public area of each school building. This sign must include the telephone number for the local county or state agency responsible for receiving reports of child abuse and neglect, as well as conducting investigations related to such cases.

The bill introduces a new section, 118.07 (6), to the statutes, which outlines these requirements. It emphasizes the importance of making this information readily accessible to ensure that individuals can report suspected child abuse or neglect effectively. The legislation aims to enhance awareness and facilitate the reporting process within educational environments.
