Bill Summary

For legislation relative to school safety issues. Education.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 71 of the Massachusetts General Laws by creating a new section that requires the Commissioner of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to designate a specific staff member as a school safety resource officer. This dedicated officer would have two primary responsibilities: first, to provide schools with information and guidance related to school safety issues, and second, to review and evaluate existing school safety plans. By establishing this role, the bill aims to enhance school safety by creating a centralized point of contact and expertise within the state's education department who can help schools develop and improve their safety protocols and offer expert guidance on preventing and responding to potential safety concerns.
