Bill > SF2387

This bill enhances school safety provisions by implementing several key measures. First, it requires middle and high schools to provide annual violence prevention training that teaches students how to recognize warning signs of potential harm, the importance of reporting threats, and how to use anonymous reporting systems. The bill mandates that the commissioners of public safety and education develop and publicly share a list of evidence-based violence prevention trainings. Additionally, the bill expands reporting requirements for schools, requiring them to electronically report both dangerous weapon incidents and active shooter incidents/threats to state authorities. Schools must provide detailed information about these incidents, including circumstances, individuals involved, and administrative responses. The bill also requires the Minnesota Fusion Center to include new reporting metrics in its annual legislative report, such as the number of tips received through anonymous threat reporting systems and active shooter incident reports. Furthermore, the bill appropriates funding for grants to school districts, charter schools, and cooperative units to develop and implement anonymous threat reporting systems, with a focus on geographic diversity and ensuring proper threat response protocols. The grants aim to enhance school safety by providing tools for early threat detection and intervention.
