Bill > SB248

This bill requires the development and implementation of a statewide, school-specific anonymous reporting program in New Mexico to allow students to report any dangerous, violent, threatening, or otherwise harmful activity that has occurred, is occurring, or may occur at a public school or involving a school employee or student. The program will include a hotline, crisis centers, a website, and a mobile app for reporting, and it will be developed by the state Department of Education in collaboration with local law enforcement, school districts, and other agencies. Schools must implement the program within 36 months and provide annual training for students and staff. The bill also requires the Department of Education to develop a statewide database to track reports and provide resources for schools, and it mandates annual reporting on the program's implementation and outcomes.

Education, Justice
