Bill > HB2328

This bill requires school districts to create and maintain school maps as part of their safe school plans, which are comprehensive strategies to ensure the safety and well-being of students and staff. These maps must be in a digital format that is compatible with the software used by local and state first responder agencies, meaning these agencies can access and use the maps without incurring any costs. The maps will include detailed floor plans, site-specific information like room layouts, access points, and evacuation routes, as well as features related to safety, security, and critical infrastructure. Importantly, these school mapping data will be considered sensitive and will be exempt from public disclosure under the Public Records Act (RCW 42.56.420) to protect security vulnerabilities. This initiative aims to improve emergency response by providing first responders with accurate and accessible information about school facilities.
