Bill summary

Senate amendment to the 2nd edition makes the following changes. 

Amends proposed GS 115C-390.2(h1) to no longer limit the eye-witness account to those provided by school personnel or the student subject to discipline. Allows the witness account to be written or oral, but requires the principal or their designee to reduce an oral account to writing. Requires the account to be provided by the end of the school day following the day the principal or their designee is given notice of the incident (was, within 24 hours of the incident) and specifies that nothing prohibits the principal or designee from accepting any detailed eyewitness account after that date.
