Protection for good faith threat reports

Beginning July 1, 2025, anyone who reports or looks into a credible school threat in good faith is protected from lawsuits. The protection applies when you act with reasonable cause and without malice. It covers reporting, investigating, and information sharing done to keep people safe on school property.

Schools can form shared safety teams

Beginning July 1, 2025, school boards and accredited nonpublic schools may create school safety assessment teams. Teams bring together police, juvenile court, mental health, social services, and school staff. Schools may also form joint teams across districts, nonpublic, charter, or innovation schools. Charter and innovation schools follow the same safety team rules as districts.

Targeted record sharing to keep students safe

Beginning July 1, 2025, school safety teams can ask covered schools and agencies for student records to get services or prevent harm. Covered schools and agencies must share information that is reasonably necessary for safety or access to help. Teams may also ask the state court administrator for non-sealed records; the administrator must provide them. A juvenile court services member on the team may share non-sealed juvenile records needed for safety. Sealed court records stay private. Teams may coordinate and plan across agencies and contracted service providers.
