Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 4 mixed.
Safety incidents can limit school choices
Utah school boards can adopt policies denying nonresident enrollment because of school safety incidents or safe-school violations. The law does not require boards to adopt these policies. Where a board adopts one, affected students can face fewer school choices.
Faster student records, new enrollment checks
Schools must still request transfer records, but this section removes the 14-day request deadline. Once asked, the previous school must send the certified record within five school days, down from 30 days. Records must include discipline files, including safety violations, reintegration plans, and threat assessments. Enrollment must wait until records arrive or an administrator or designee reviews that information through the data gateway. Exceptions under Sections 53G-6-604(2)(b) and 53E-3-905 still apply to the record-transfer requirements.
Required support plans for disciplined students
After court or police notice of a serious-offense arrest, charge, or adjudication, schools must develop a reintegration plan. The deadline is seven school days during school, or seven days after summer break when notice arrives outside school sessions. Plans must include behavior support, short-term mental health or counseling help, and academic support; the team and family can add help. Students and parents help develop plans, and education, court, juvenile justice, and applicable school safety representatives can send designees. Plans and their requirements stay active for an entire school year or 180 days after implementation, or longer if needed.
School placement limits and alternative education
Schools cannot reintegrate a student where another student or staff member has a protective order against that student. Reintegration or continued enrollment is also barred where a student or staff member is a victim of a listed offense. The listed offenses are specified in Section 76-3-203.5. School agencies can also decline placement when a student committed or allegedly committed a forcible felony. When an agency makes that choice, the district must provide alternative education options.
Secure student files follow school transfers
Beginning July 1, 2025, school agencies must digitally maintain the required cumulative secure file after receiving an offense notice. They can maintain the related reintegration plan instead, if available. The file must be kept for one year from receipt of the notice. The secure file must follow the student to another school or school agency.
