Education: safety; behavioral threat assessment and management program; require department to create and implement. Amends title of 2018 PA 548 (MCL 28.801 - 28.809) & adds sec. 6. TIE BAR WITH: SB 1176'24

This bill directs the Michigan Department of Education to establish a statewide behavioral threat assessment and management program for all public and nonpublic schools. The program requires the department to build a secure, cloud-based system that gathers data from various sources, such as law enforcement and mental health records, to identify and assess potential threats to school safety. Schools must use approved models to categorize student risk levels, create intervention plans, and manage case information while adhering to strict security protocols that limit access to authorized personnel only. Additionally, the legislation mandates regular training for staff, quarterly audits of system access, and annual reporting to state officials on the program's activities.
