HB 1521 School safety audits.
Introduced by: Phillip A. Hamilton | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED:
School safety audits. Clarifies that school safety audits must be written assessments of the safety conditions in each public school and requires each school to maintain a copy of its safety audit within the office of the school principal and to make this copy available for review upon written request. Under current law, school boards must require all public schools to conduct safety audits, which are defined as the assessment of the safety conditions in schools to identify and evaluate patterns of student safety concerns on school property or at school-sponsored events and develop, if necessary, solutions for physical safety concerns, including building security issues. Solutions and responses may include recommendations for structural adjustments, changes in school safety procedures, and revisions to the school board's standards for student conduct.
The Superintendent of Public Instruction is required to develop a list of items to be reviewed and evaluated in the school safety audits.
