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.

The bill also establishes reporting requirements, where each principal must report the number of removals that necessitated parental notification to the school board annually, and school boards must compile and report this information to the Department of Public Instruction. The bill includes new definitions for "school principal" and outlines the responsibilities of principals and their designees regarding notifications and reporting. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
