HB 1912 - DIGEST

Provides that, notwithstanding any other provision of law, a school district board of directors may decline to admit a student who is a convicted juvenile sex offender, unless the school district board is satisfied that the level and method of supervision mandated in the offender's intensive supervision program required under RCW 13.40.210 is sufficient to maintain a safe and secure school environment for the entire school population.

Provides that if, after review and approval of the offender's intensive supervision program, a school district board of directors admits a convicted juvenile sex offender to its schools, the school district may request and shall be eligible for and entitled to reimbursement from the juvenile rehabilitation authority for the actual costs incurred by the district for the supervision of the offender.

Declares that any school district, including any school district officers, employees, volunteers, or agents, acting in good faith, during the performance and within the scope of his or her responsibilities and duties, is immune from liability for any criminal sexual act engaged in or caused by any juvenile sex offender who is on school property, participating in school transportation services, or engaged in school activities, as authorized, required, or otherwise provided for under this act. This section shall not apply to any act or omission that constitutes gross negligence or willful and wanton conduct.
