MODERATE
The bill was finalized as Enrolled, incorporating substantive new requirements for threat assessment procedures in special education cooperatives and charter schools. These changes mandate that cooperatives operating under joint agreements must create their own threat assessment teams and procedures, while also clarifying how charter schools must specify these procedures in their agreements. Additionally, the State Board of Education is now required to provide specific guidance to school districts on threat assessment steps and parent notification protocols.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded to explicitly require special education cooperatives and charter schools to implement specific threat assessment procedures and team structures, rather than relying solely on existing district procedures.
REQUIREMENT
Special education cooperatives operating under joint agreements must now implement their own threat assessment procedures and create a threat assessment team.
Charter school agreements must now specify in detail how threat assessment procedures will be determined for the school.
The State Board of Education must provide guidance to school districts on threat assessment steps and how to notify parents and community members of threats.
