Alyssa's Law; enact to require school districts to implement a panic alert system making use of wearable panic alert devices.

SB 2534, "Alyssa's Law," requires all Mississippi public school districts to implement a panic alert system starting in the 2025-2026 school year. The system mandates that each staff member receive a wearable device enabling immediate emergency contact with local 911 services and triggering campus-wide lockdown notifications. It also requires staff training on device use and designates certain school security records (like access maps and safety plans) as confidential, exempting them from public records requests - though limited disclosures are permitted for law enforcement or court orders. The law aims to enhance school safety through direct emergency response capabilities and secure information handling.
