Safe Schools Transparency Act.
This bill requires North Carolina public schools to immediately notify parents and guardians of credible threats against students, staff, or the campus, such as violence, weapons, or lockdowns. It mandates that these alerts be sent through at least two different methods, including a phone call for high-level emergencies, and must include details about the threat and the school's response. The legislation also establishes penalties for schools that fail to provide these notifications, which can include financial fines, corrective action plans, or the termination of responsible administrators. Additionally, the bill creates a School Safety Fund and reinstates a task force to oversee these safety measures and annual transparency reports.
