SB 596 would expand the terms of an existing law barring parents from disrupting classrooms and extracurricular activities where a school employee is present, to now include off-campus activities where employees are present, such as school board meetings.
Parents would be subject to a misdemeanor charge, facing a $500-$1,000 fine and jail time of up to a year for causing “substantial disorder” at these meetings. SB 596 also expands the definition of “school employee” to “any employee or official of a school district, a charter school, a county office of education, a county board of education, the state board, or the State Department of Education.”
Appears to place harsher penalties for harassment and expands the definition of who is covered by the law. I really don’t see much of a problem here.
