32280.5.
(a) On or before July 1, 2030, each public school, including charter schools, with an enrollment of 100 pupils or more shall implement a web-based or app-based school safety program that includes at least all of the following program parameters:(1) A common alphanumeric grid mapping system for the identification of all buildings and locations upon the schoolsite that is replicable across all schoolsites in the state. Each building within the mapped system shall have conspicuous signage upon all corners of the structure listing the alphanumeric identification and any other pertinent information.
(2) A multilayered digital map of the schoolsite that contains key information,
including, but not limited to, detailed building floor plans, alphanumeric building identification, gate locations, shut-off valve locations, first aid equipment locations, links to 360-degree interior and 360-degree aerial photography, and the location of, and field of view of, schoolsite surveillance cameras.
(3) The ability to place time stamped event markers on the digital map that identify important information about a crisis, including, but not limited to, injuries, hazards, suspect sightings, and safety zones.
(4) The ability to alert first responders from multiple agencies within a reasonable geographic area from the school in the event of an emergency on or around the schoolsite.
(5) Remote access for first responders to connect to a schoolsite’s surveillance system. Each camera shall have alphanumeric
identification, display the direction of the camera’s view, and a brief description of what is seen within the camera’s field of view.
(6) Detailed schoolsite information, including, but not limited to, the general schoolsite location, schoolsite size, pupil populations, the schoolsite’s grade levels, the number of staff on campus, the schoolsite’s Wi-Fi connection information, a hierarchy representation of those with responsibility duties, including their name, title, photograph, and contact information, and the emergency procedures for that schoolsite.
(7) The ability for school administrators to know the location and condition of pupils and staff through an information relay built into the application. This feature shall, at a minimum, allow for schoolsite staff to designate pupils as “absent,” “present,” “missing,” “injured,” and “reconnect,” based upon their accurate
accounting. The “reconnect” feature shall include a messaging system that notifies each pupil’s emergency contacts when that pupil has been safely secured by an authorized emergency contact.
(8) A one-directional message service that allows the program director and the schoolsite primary contact to keep schoolsite staff up-to-date with current, urgent details.
(9) The ability to operate the program to conduct emergency practice drills and archive dates, times, and comments related to an emergency practice drill.
(b) Each school shall ensure that the program developers ensure that best practices are implemented to protect the security and data of all pupils and staff listed within the program.
(c) (1) The Superintendent shall
certify that each school has implemented a web-based or app-based school safety program. In the event that the Superintendent is made aware of a school’s financial inability to pay for the implementation of the program without causing undo financial harm, the school may apply to the department for a one-time allocation, subject to available funding, to cover the implementation costs of the program. Any ongoing costs shall be the fiscal responsibility of the school.
(2) Once the Superintendent has certified that each public school within the state has implemented the minimum requirements of this section, the Superintendent may propose to the Legislature a list of statutes that, in the Superintendent’s view, have been made null or are deemed less stringent than the requirements of this section, and should be considered for being repealed.
(d) This section does not preclude the
governing board or body of a local educational agency from implementing more stringent or additional requirements regarding school safety programs.
