LD99

Clarifies information sharing between the Department of Health and Human Services and schools regarding investigations of child abuse or neglect.

This bill amends the Maine Revised Statutes to clarify that an investigation team from the Department of Health and Human Services may share information with school administrators when there is an indicated or substantiated finding of out-of-home child abuse or neglect against an employee or student. The information may be shared with the superintendent of a school administrative unit, the chief administrator of a public school not in a school administrative unit, or the chief administrator of a private school.
