school safety; proposals; assessments; plans

HB 2074 requires Arizona school districts and charter schools to train all school safety officers (including resource officers, probation officers, and safety officers) on recognizing and interacting with children with disabilities, as defined by law. The bill amends school safety program rules to mandate that proposals for funding must include detailed safety assessments, building blueprints, and plans for training officers on civil rights, mental health, and family privacy laws. It also requires schools to share safety plans with local law enforcement and emergency services. These changes directly affect school safety personnel and school districts applying for state safety program funding.
