Education: school districts; mobile panic alert system in schools; require. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1308c.

This bill requires all public and nonpublic schools in Michigan to implement a mobile panic alert system starting in the 2025-2026 school year. The system must connect schools directly with law enforcement and first responders to facilitate real-time communication during emergencies like lockdowns or active shooter situations. The state will use competitive bidding to purchase the technology, but schools that already have a compliant system can apply for an exemption. Schools that fail to comply with the new requirements may lose eligibility for certain state school safety grants.
