The California state Assembly has approved two bills that would require school districts to make detailed plans for reporting child abuse and prepare for violent incidents on campus.

AB135 by Democratic Assemblywoman Joan Buchanan of Alamo requires school districts to write a child abuse reporting policy that reflects current law and inform staff about it. Buchanan says abuse was reported to administrators at a So. Cal. elementary school where a teacher was charged with 23 counts of lewd conduct with students but was never reported to police. It passed Monday on a 74-0 vote.Lawmakers also approved AB1264 by Republican Assemblywoman Connie Conway of Tulare on a 73-0 vote. It requires school districts to develop specific plans to respond to campus violence.
Both bills now head to the Senate.

While California state develops the abuse safety policy, each school can get a proper business insurance in place to cover sexual abuse and molestation claims. It is not only a good piece of mind against such claims, but also a great risk management and safety technice – the carrier will provide the school with tools and ideas on how to lower the corresponding exposure, for example:

– Employment application must include questions bout whether the individual has ever been convicted for any crime, including sex-related or child abuse related offenses
– Advise on requesting criminal background investigations for all applicants
– Verify employment related references
– Develop a plan  of supervision that monitors staff in day-to-day relationships with clients both on and off premises
