Utah law governing school enrollment, student records, and reintegration of disciplined students would change under this bill. It would let school boards deny nonresident enrollment applications from students who have had any school safety incident or "safe-school violation," expanding existing grounds for denial beyond serious legal infractions or chronic misbehavior. It would shorten the deadline for schools to transfer a student's full record—now required to include discipline files, safe-school violations, reintegration plans, and threat assessments—from 30 days to five school days, and would bar a new school from enrolling a transfer student until that record is received or reviewed. For students facing arrest or charges for serious offenses, the bill would extend the deadline to create a reintegration plan from five to seven school days, require that plan to remain in effect for a full school year or 180 days, require schools to digitally store discipline and reintegration records for one year so they follow a student between schools, and update the criminal history that can bar a student's readmission to a school where a victim of certain violent felonies is enrolled.
