SALT LAKE CITY — Schools may soon be required to notify parents if a child threatens to commit suicide or is involved with bullying, cyberbullying, harassment, hazing or retaliation.
On Friday, the House passed HB134, sponsored by Rep. Gage Froerer, R-Huntsville, which requires that schools notify parents of such behavior and collect a signed statement from parents acknowledging they were notified. The bill also allows local school boards to create their own notification process.
The legislation passed with a 66-1 vote and will now head to the Senate.
