An Act To Improve Safety In Public Schools By Requiring Silent Electronic Notification Systems In Classrooms

LD 168 requires public elementary and secondary schools enrolling 12 or more students to install silent electronic notification systems in every classroom. When manually activated, these systems automatically alert 911 dispatch, school security, and local law enforcement during emergencies. The bill also mandates that the systems notify parents who have subscribed to receive alerts. This applies directly to all qualifying Maine public schools and aims to improve emergency response coordination.
