Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
New at-risk student goals and funding
Starting July 1, 2024, each district must pick at least one cohort first identified in grade 3 or 4 and one in kindergarten–grade 8. When possible, one cohort is students eligible for free meals. Cohorts cannot be 10 or fewer students; if needed, districts must work with the state to form groups of at least 11. Ten districts pilot these rules in 2024–25 and 2025–26; all districts follow them statewide in 2026–27. Districts must file an annual at‑risk plan and spending report; beginning in 2026–27, the state posts reports online and gives lawmakers a summary by January 31 each year. Beginning in 2030–31, if a cohort misses its four‑year goal after the extra evaluation year, the state recalculates the district’s at‑risk aid: if one cohort fails, funding uses only half of any BASE aid increase; if both fail, funding uses the prior BASE amount.
Opioid lessons and naloxone in schools
High schools must teach fentanyl and opioid abuse prevention to all students in grades 9–12, using state guidance. Schools must keep a stock of naloxone on site. A school nurse or trained staff may give naloxone in an emergency when an opioid overdose is suspected. Local boards must set rules for storage, tracking expiration dates, and who may give it. Schools may fold lessons into other drug‑prevention classes and work with outside partners.
Safer school drills with parent notice
By October 1, 2026, the education department publishes trauma‑informed, age‑appropriate rules for active shooter drills and updates them at least every three years. Local boards must adopt matching policies and review each year how drills affect student safety and mental health. Parents must get at least 24 hours’ notice of drills or simulations and can opt their child out; schools must give alternative safety lessons and cannot punish nonparticipants. Active‑shooter simulations are banned where K–8 students attend and allowed only at 9–12 sites; adult tactical training on school property is only when students are not present and with prior written approval. Crisis drills cannot include any simulation elements, and older drill statutes are repealed and replaced by these protections.
