This notice will be made in writing (including by email) at the beginning of the school year and at any time a new student who is a registered sex offender enrolls and will include the name of the student, the crime of conviction, the sentence imposed, and, when possible, an internet link to a local law enforcement agency web site with additional information.
School districts shall also collect the addresses and email addresses of parents, legal guardians, students who are eighteen years of age or older, and school district personnel.
