Senate Bill 612 mandates that school principals notify parents or guardians whenever a pupil is removed from the classroom, resulting in a reduction of instructional time for the remaining students. The notification must be in writing and delivered electronically, unless the parent has opted out of electronic communication, in which case it should be sent via first-class mail. The notice must be provided as soon as practicable, but no later than 5 p.m. on the day of the removal. Additionally, the bill specifies that notifications are required for entire classes removed for safety drills, and principals must report the number of such removals to the school board annually.

The bill also introduces new definitions for "school principal" and modifies the existing definition of "teacher" within the relevant statute. It establishes a reporting requirement for principals to submit the total number of removals that necessitated parental notification to the school board by October 1 each year, with school boards required to report this information to the state superintendent by December 1. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
