District Code: CONNALLY
David's Law
To ensure all of our parents and community are informed, Connally ISD is sharing the following information about Senate Bill 179 or “David’s Law.”
Effective September 1, 2017, Senate Bill 179, commonly known as “David’s Law,” makes it a Class A misdemeanor and allows a temporary injunction against social media accounts used to electronically harass or cyberbully someone under age 18 through text message, social media, websites or other means with the intent of causing them to commit suicide or harm themselves.
Authored by Texas state Senators José Menéndez and Judith Zaffirini, the bill requires school districts to include cyberbullying in their district bullying policies, notify parents within 3 days if their child has been bullied, and notify the parents of the alleged aggressor within a reasonable amount of time. Additionally, schools have the authority to investigate cyberbullying and to work with law enforcement on such investigations.
If a student believes they are a victim of cyberbullying/bullying, or if a teacher or other school personnel knows about an incident of cyberbullying/bullying, they should report it immediately to a campus administrator.
Students and parents may also use CISD’s STAY SAFE. SPEAK UP! reporting tool. Accessible using this link: STAY SAFE. SPEAK UP!
