Session
Regular Session 2019
Title
Education, school safety plans, redesignate code red as school lockdown, Secs. 16-1-44, 36-19-10 am'd.
Description

Under current law, each local board of education is required to adopt a comprehensive school safety plan for each school under its authority. This overarching plan must include a specific plan relating to threats to the safety of school property, students, employees, or administrators, referred to as a code red school safety plan

This bill would redesignate this comprehensive school safety plan as a school emergency operations plan, and would change terms from code red plan to school lockdown safety plan, and from code red drill to school lockdown drill, to help participants understand the reason for the plan and the drills

This bill would also require a local board of education creating or revising a school emergency operations plan to utilize the four tiers of lockdown alert level currently adopted by the State Superintendent of Education

Relating to public K-12 education and school safety plans; to amend Sections 16-1-44 and 36-19-10 of the Code of Alabama 1975; to redesignate comprehensive school safety plans as school emergency operations plans; to redesignate code red school safety plans and code red drills as school lockdown safety plans and school lockdown drills; and to require that each school lockdown safety plan include additional four-tiered specific plans of action for school personnel to follow in case of an alert.
