Bill > SB0051

This bill establishes a system for the State Board of Education to collect and share "threat assessment information," which is defined as data related to a student's credible threat that has been evaluated and determined to pose a potential risk to school safety, including threats of violence. Local education agencies (LEAs), which are school districts or charter schools, will be required to flag a student's record if a threat assessment team determines a credible threat has been made, especially if it involves potential harm to students, school personnel, or property, or if it involves weapons or explosive devices. This information can then be shared with authorized personnel in other LEAs and law enforcement agencies to protect student and school safety, without requiring parental consent in these specific circumstances, provided certain procedural requirements are met. The State Board of Education will also provide training on these threat assessment protocols and conduct audits to ensure compliance and report annually on the operation and effectiveness of this information-sharing system.
