this proposal.


DESCRIPTION

The proposal would remove the requirement that assault in the third degree be
reported by the principal to law enforcement and superintendent.  The
proposal would allow the principal to determine whether an act of assault in
the third degree would require reporting to the superintendent or law
enforcement.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
