Requires Commissioner of Education to develop emergency notification system to alert students and staff of active shooter on school grounds.
This bill requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Education to create a free emergency alert system for all public and private schools. The system must allow schools to notify students, staff, parents/guardians, and teachers via mobile devices (with parental permission for students), work on all device types, and automatically alert local police during active shooter incidents. Schools must customize the system using registered contact details, and the commissioner must provide it at no cost to any school.
