SUMMARY

 

Synopsis of Bill

 

House Joint Memorial 17 requests the Public Education Department to provide a model safety policy governing after-hours work at school sites.

 

 

 

Significant Issues

 

According to PED, the department would disseminate the model policy to school districts and require them to adopt a policy covering work during non-school hours.

 

In the 2003 session, three memorials were passed on school safety. One of the recommendations from the School Safety Task Force addressing these memorials was to amend the PED’s Safe Schools Accountability Indicator to require districts to have in place a school-site policy for faculty and staff regarding working hours, including before-and after-school hours and weekends.
