HB387

Pennsylvania HB387 mandates schools to notify parents of serious incidents involving their children.

HB387 requires Pennsylvania school entities to notify parents, guardians, or custodial parents of students involved in incidents that must be reported in the school safety report or that result in serious injuries on school property, on the school bus, or at a school activity. Notification must be made in the preferred manner indicated by the parent, with documentation of this preference. In emergencies, alternative methods can be used. Schools must maintain current contact information and provide training to staff on recognizing incidents, notification procedures, and recordkeeping.
