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

1. (a) The victim's rights may include a right to:

   1. (1) Participate in disciplinary proceedings either in writing or in person;
   2. (2) Provide a statement concerning the impact of the incident on the victim; and
   3. (3) Have the outcome explained to the victim and to his or her parents or guardian by a school official, consistent with confidentiality.
2. (b) For the purposes of this part, the victim is the actual victim, not his or her parents or guardians.
