Bill > HB550

This bill amends the existing Georgia law related to promise scholarship accounts by requiring participating schools (which are likely private schools receiving state educational funding) to develop school safety plans that meet the same standards required of public schools under Code Section 20-2-1185. Specifically, the bill adds a new subsection to the existing legal code mandating that each participating school must create a comprehensive school safety plan that mirrors the safety planning requirements already in place for public schools. This change ensures that private schools receiving state educational funding are held to the same safety planning standards as public schools, which likely includes protocols for emergency preparedness, threat assessment, and response strategies. The bill represents a straightforward regulatory update aimed at maintaining consistent safety standards across different types of educational institutions that receive state educational support.
