A 48-hour sexual assault notification rule was nixed in a Washington state bill this week, leading to controversy in Olympia.
In a House Education Committee hearing this week, one lawmaker unsuccessfully attempted to undo the 48-hour rule and require immediate parental notification. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"The underlying bill essentially states that schools can wait 48 hours before they tell parents if their children were involved in any kind of criminal action or if there was any sexual misconduct of staff," said state Rep. Travis Couture, R-Shelton. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
