Relating to: school safety plans. (FE)
AB 826 amends Wisconsin statute 118.07(4)(bm)2 to require school districts to include specific procedures in their safety plans. The bill mandates schools establish clear guidelines for informing students and families when an incident triggers the safety plan, as well as procedures for debriefing students, staff, and families after such events. These requirements apply directly to all public school districts in Wisconsin, impacting how they communicate during and after safety incidents. The changes take effect on July 1, 2026, adding standardized communication and follow-up steps to existing school safety planning.
