Modifies provisions governing school safety
HB 416 replaces Missouri's existing school safety laws with new requirements. It mandates that all public school districts and charter schools adopt comprehensive emergency operations plans covering safety, crisis response, and mental health support, and conduct annual facility security assessments. The bill also requires schools to implement the "Stop the Bleed" program by 2026, including placing bleeding control kits in high-traffic areas, training staff annually on their use, and inspecting kits yearly for expired supplies. These changes directly affect all Missouri public schools and charter schools.
