An Act relative to school security

This bill requires all Massachusetts cities and towns to establish a 24/7 phone line for reporting threats to school buildings and publicize it widely. It mandates that every school building must have a school resource officer present during regular school hours, accompanied by a formal agreement with the police department. School districts must implement specific policies including active shooter training for staff/students, annual safety audits of buildings, and physical security upgrades like single access points and surveillance systems. These requirements apply directly to all public schools, school districts, and local police departments across Massachusetts.
