Introduced by: R. Edward Houck | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
School safety. Requires, in addition to the already required school safety audits, that school boards ensure that each school develops a written school crisis and emergency management plan. The Department of Education must provide technical assistance to the schools in the development of these plans. The Board of Education must, upon consultation with local school boards and division superintendents, develop, and may revise as necessary, a model school crisis and emergency management plan for the purpose of assisting the public schools in Virginia in developing viable, effective crisis and emergency management plans. “School crisis and emergency management plan” is defined as the essential procedures, operations, and assignments required to prevent, manage, and respond to a critical event or emergency, including natural disasters involving fire, flood, severe weather; loss or disruption of power, water, communications or shelter; bus or other accidents; medical emergencies; student or staff member deaths; explosions; bomb threats; gun, knife or other weapons threats; spills or exposures to hazardous substances; the presence of unauthorized persons or trespassers; the loss, disappearance or kidnapping of a student; hostage situations; and violence on school property or at school activities; and other incidents posing a serious threat of harm to students, personnel or facilities. A second enactment clause requires that the plans must be developed and operational by July 1 of the year following the effective date of this act.
