Massachusetts S445 mandates parental notification within 24 hours of law enforcement action on school grounds.
Massachusetts S445 requires school officials to notify parents or guardians within 24 hours of law enforcement being called to school grounds. The notification must include the time law enforcement was called, the reason for the call, and the time they left, while omitting any identifying information about students or faculty. This requirement does not limit law enforcement's authority to ensure safety but must be fulfilled by the school resource officer, principal, superintendent, or their designee.
