HB 2398 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Requires the department of elementary and secondary education to conduct safety assessments of all public schools in the state

This bill requires the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to perform safety assessments on every public and charter school in the state. The assessments will evaluate specific security measures such as door locks, video surveillance, visitor management systems, and emergency communication tools, while also checking for items like bleeding control kits, defibrillators, and protective fencing. Following the evaluation, the department must provide each school with a report detailing identified vulnerabilities and offering recommendations to address them. This mandate does not replace existing legal requirements for maintaining school safety standards established by state or federal laws.
