AI Summary
This bill, known as the SAVE Students Act, aims to enhance school safety and security by introducing several key provisions. It requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to develop a model threat assessment policy for schools serving grades 6-12, which includes guidelines for identifying and responding to potential threats, while ensuring disciplinary actions are not applied disproportionately to students in protected classes. Additionally, the Department is tasked with making publicly available lists of evidence-based trainings for threat assessment, suicide awareness and prevention, youth violence prevention, and social inclusion. The bill also grants the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education the authority to promulgate regulations necessary for the implementation of these measures.
