School safety threat assessment pilot project established, report required, and money appropriated.

HF 3753 establishes a pilot program to enhance school safety through threat assessment. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety will contract with a vendor to provide real-time monitoring, threat alerts, and door-locking capabilities using predictive analytics, with services integrating into existing school security systems. One school district per congressional district (including both large and small districts) will participate, excluding those already using similar systems. The program requires a report by January 2027 evaluating effectiveness, gathering feedback from schools, and recommending statewide implementation, funded by a $4 million appropriation from the general fund for fiscal year 2027.
