Massachusetts S348 mandates parental notification for law enforcement actions on school grounds.
Massachusetts S348 amends Chapter 71 of the General Laws to require school officials to notify parents within 24 hours if law enforcement is called to school grounds. The notification must include the time law enforcement was called, the reason, and the time they left, without identifying specific students or faculty. This requirement does not delay law enforcement actions necessary to prevent harm or address emergencies. The bill takes effect upon passage.
