Pupil safety: sextortion informational poster

The law places reporting contacts, crisis support, and online-safety resources where pupils can readily access them. It covers threats involving intimate images or videos used to force sexual content, sexual acts, or something of value.

What the law does ​

• Requires qualifying school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools to post at least 12-by-18-inch sextortion posters by the start of the 2027–28 school year.
• Requires posters in at least one men’s restroom, one women’s restroom, and one all-gender restroom used by pupils at every covered schoolsite.
• Requires posters in English and any primary non-English language spoken by at least 15% of the schoolsite’s enrolled pupils.
• Requires age-appropriate sextortion information, reporting contacts for local, state, and federal law enforcement, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, and a link or QR code to National Center for Missing and Exploited Children online-enticement resources.
• Requires the California Department of Education to publish a model poster template by July 1, 2027.

Who it affects ​

• School districts, county offices of education, and charter schools operating any combination of grades 7 through 12.
• Pupils using restrooms at covered middle and high school sites.
• The California Department of Education.

Context ​

Local agencies and school districts may receive state reimbursement if the Commission on State Mandates finds the law creates reimbursable state-mandated costs.
