Copy as parenthetical citation

In formal disciplinary proceedings, each school must consider victims' rights when appropriate.

The victim's rights may include a right to:

Participate in disciplinary proceedings either in writing or in person;

Provide a statement concerning the impact of the incident on the victim; and

Have the outcome explained to the victim and to his or her parents or guardian by a school official, consistent with confidentiality.

For the purposes of this part, the victim is the actual victim, not his or her parents or guardians.
