school safety; employee certification; policies

HB 2076 establishes Arizona's "Save Our Children School Safety Program" to enhance school safety through employee training and crisis preparedness. It creates a fund to reimburse public and private K-12 schools for employee certification costs (via approved programs) and school safety equipment, while allowing schools to adopt policies permitting certified employees to carry concealed firearms on campus. The bill requires schools to notify law enforcement about firearm-carrying employees, maintains confidentiality of employee training details, and grants immunity to certified staff acting in good faith during emergencies. Schools must report annually on program participation, fund usage, and effectiveness to state officials.
