Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Police can alert schools to credible threats

The law lets police share credible threat information with a superintendent or principal. It covers threats with a firearm or other dangerous weapon, or any imminent danger on school grounds or at a school event. The information can come from records or other credible sources. This expands when juvenile-related information may be shared, but limits re-sharing to only what is needed to protect students and staff.

Schools must form safety notification teams

A superintendent must convene a notification team within 10 days after notice from a district attorney or police about a juvenile safety threat. The team must include the building administrator (or designee), at least one of the student’s teachers, the student’s parent or guardian, and a guidance counselor. The team may receive the juvenile criminal justice information described in state law and decide which staff members need to know it. Schools must keep this information confidential and may release it only as the law allows. The superintendent must ensure confidentiality training for all staff who have access.
