Supporting survivors of sexual assault in public elementary and secondary schools.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill requires the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to create and post online training materials for school staff on how to respond to disclosures of sexual abuse, misconduct, and assault in a way that supports survivors. It also updates existing law to ensure school employees receive this trauma-informed training every three years and mandates that school administrators contact all parties involved when investigating such complaints. Additionally, the bill calls for a student and family guide on school sexual harassment policies and reporting procedures to be developed and made available.
