🚨NEW: State law now requires school districts to provide every classroom with silent panic alarms, ensure armed security officers are present on each campus, require certain employees to complete mental-health training, facilitate law enforcement walkthroughs of school campuses, and adopt electronic notification systems to communicate with parents in the event of violent activity occurring on school grounds.
Schools have an essential responsibility to protect student safety and wellbeing. Parents deserve to know what state law requires of their school district, so that they can hold school boards and administrators accountable and better understand how districts should prepare for a worst-case scenario. Although no amount of preparedness can guarantee against all threats, parental engagement and involvement is critical for keeping schools safe.
As part of my emphasis on top-tier training for our OAG peace officers, we acquired a state-of-the-art training simulator. School resource officers must have access to the best training available, which is why I am making the OAG training simulator available to any school resource officer who would like to train alongside our law enforcement officers to improve threat response and preparedness.
