AMENDMENT EXPLANATION
1. Removes the requirements specifying the
time periods when a public school must make learning materials and activities
available at the school site or campus.
2.
Replaces nondiscrimination
with discrimination in the list of topics for which student instruction
or teacher training materials and activities must be displayed at least 72
hours before first use as prescribed.
3.
Requires the
searchable or sortable learning material lists to be searchable or sortable
within each separately-posted section or course.
4.
Allows a
party to file suit in superior court to ensure each material or activity
identified in the complaint is posted as required, rather than to bring the
school into compliance.
5.
Prohibits a school
district governing board or charter school governing body from being held
liable for not posting or updating listings beyond what was previously posted
if:
a) an individual's employment at the school
has been discontinued; or
b) an internet address ceases to function.
6.
Limits
complaint submissions to one complaint per party in a 30-day period and allows
a complaint to identify multiple materials within a single course that have not
been posted in compliance with material-posting requirements.
7.
Allows a
party to escalate a complaint as outlined if the complaint is not resolved in a
manner that ensures materials or activities identified in the complaint are
posted with the required level of detail, rather than if the complaint is not
resolved to the complainant's satisfaction.
8.
Specifies
that the parties authorized to submit a complaint for a violation of material
and activity posting requirements are limited to the outlined parties
authorized to initiate a suit in superior court.
9.
Specifies
that service learning projects, which must be posted 72 hours before
first use as prescribed, includes both:
a) a requirement to participate in
internships or other collaborations with outside organizations for course
credit, class project or assignment; and
b)
the specific
internships or organizations students select if selected from a list of
specific internships or organizations determined by the school or school staff.
