Pupil safety: comprehensive school safety plans.
Summary
Existing law provides that school districts and county offices of education are responsible for the overall development of a comprehensive school safety plan for each of their constituent schools. Existing law requires the schoolsite council of a school to write and develop a comprehensive school safety plan relevant to the needs and resources of the particular school. Existing law requires a schoolsite council or school safety planning committee, before adopting a comprehensive school safety plan, to hold a public meeting at the schoolsite, as specified. Existing law requires schools to forward copies of their comprehensive school safety plans to the school district or county office of education for approval. Existing law requires school districts and county offices of education annually to notify the State Department of Education regarding schools that fail to adopt a comprehensive school safety plan. This bill would authorize school districts and county offices of education, in consultation with law enforcement officials, to elect not to have their schoolsite councils develop and write those portions of their comprehensive school safety plans that include tactical responses to criminal incidents, as defined, that may result in death or serious bodily injury at the schoolsite. The bill would authorize school district and county office of education administrators to develop those portions of a comprehensive school safety plan that include tactical responses to criminal incidents, in consultation with law enforcement officials and representatives of exclusive bargaining units of employees of that school district or county office of education, and to elect not to disclose these portions of the comprehensive school safety plan that include tactical responses to criminal incidents. The bill would specify that it would not preclude the governing board of a school district or county office of education from conferring in a closed session with law enforcement officials to approve a tactical response plan developed in consultation with those officials pursuant to the bill.
