IN RE: | HB1323 by Strama (relating to bullying and harassment in public schools. ), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
School districts may be required to modify local student information systems or work with vendors to update student information system packages used to collect, report, and extract data. Local costs for systems modification would be expected to vary widely depending on the complexity of any updates needed to accommodate new data, whether affected software systems were locally-developed or vendor-provided packages, and the terms of vendor maintenance agreements.
School districts would be required to provide instruction to students concerning the elements of bullying and sexual harassment and the action students should take in case of bullying or sexual harassment, including procedures for reporting an incident. To the extent that such instruction is not currently being provided, school districts could incur costs to provide the required instruction.
