On October 8, 2017, the Governor signed Assembly Bill 500, which adds Section 44050 to the Education Code effective January 1, 2018.

By January 1, 2018, Education Code section 44050 requires school districts that maintain any provision within their codes of conduct for employees on employee interaction with pupils to (1) provide a written copy of the section on employee interactions with pupils to parents and guardians at the beginning of each school year; and (2) post the section on employee interactions with pupils on each school’s website, if they have one, or on the agency’s (district or county office’s) website if it has one.
