A 1979 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires Commissioner of Education to develop emergency notification system to alert students and staff of active shooter on school grounds.

This bill requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Education to create a free emergency notification system for schools. The system must allow students, staff, parents, and guardians to register mobile devices (like phones or tablets) to receive immediate alerts about active shooter situations on school grounds. It mandates that the system works with all device types, automatically contacts local law enforcement or the State Police upon activation, and must be customized by each school using the system to include registered contacts. The bill applies to all public and nonpublic schools in New Jersey.
