SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)

School and institutional crisis and emergency management plans. Requires public schools to institute tornado drills every school year to familiarize students with drill procedures to safeguard their health, safety, and welfare. The definition of "school crisis and emergency management plan" has been modified to include "tornados" among the natural disasters and severe weather conditions that must be considered. The Board of Education and the State Council of Higher Education must consult with the Virginia Center for School Safety and the Coordinator of Emergency Management in the development and revision of their respective model crisis and emergency management plans for public schools and public and private two-year and four-year institutions of higher education. The duties of the Department of Emergency Management and of the Coordinator have been extended to provide consultation services to the Board of Education and the State Council of Higher Education in the development and revision of crisis and emergency management plans, which would include disaster and preparedness activities that should be followed in the event of a tornado. Institutions of higher education formed after July 1, 1980, must ensure preservation of student transcripts in the event of closure or revocation of approval to operate in Virginia
