HB1937

Canadian County Lion’s Den Awaiting review of version 6

This bill opens the door for predators in our schools to not be investigated. This information comes from Sherrie Conley. This bill deals with amendatory language. The language change opens the door for the administration to use personal judgment to determine if a school employee should be investigated. Currently, all reported cases are to be investigated. This allows for potential coverup of an abuse incident. The current language states, "Any school personnel who is reported to be the subject of a violation of subsection B of this section shall be put on administrative leave while the schooldistrict investigates the incident and notifies the board of education. This changes to, "Any school personnel who is the subject of a corroborated report of being in violation of subsection B of this section shall be put on administrative leave while the school district investigates the incident and notifies the board of education. Key words changed from, "reported to be" to, "the subject of a corroborated report of being". This leaves the possibility of a predator in the school until it can be corroborated which might never happen.

Patriots Awakened Awaiting review of version 6

Not nearly strong enough and is too vague and leaves the decision up for interpretation. This needs to be more concrete and more protective of our students!
