BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

The State Board of Education proposes to amend R.43-279, Minimum Standards of Student Conduct and Disciplinary Enforcement Procedures to be Implemented by Local School Districts to identify "sexting" as a Level II disciplinary infraction and distinguish it from the "illegal use of technology" that is currently addressed in the regulation.
