§ 49335 Pupil Whistleblower Protection System

• •Kids can report dangerous things (like weapons) at school without anyone knowing who told.
• •The school must keep the kid's name a secret if they report something bad.
• •This rule started in 2001 and covers all schools from kindergarten to 12th grade.

A student sees another kid bring a knife to school and tells a teacher.

The school must keep the student's name private so no one knows who told on the kid with the knife.
