 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 4 4. A school district may not authorize a currently enrolled public
 5 school student to be instructed in the home if there is a pending child
 6 abuse or neglect investigation against either custodial parent or a

 8 instructing the child has ever been convicted of domestic violence or
 9 child abuse or neglect. The board of education of every school district

 12 child abuse or neglect is made by a school teacher or other school
 13 personnel. Upon determination by the school district superintendent that
 14 an investigation has been initiated, the superintendent shall request
 15 confirmation of case status from the office of children and family
 16 services, which shall provide confirmation within forty-eight hours of
 17 receipt of such request.
 18 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
