Requires exterior exit doors in school buildings to remain unlocked from egress side and locked from access side at all times.

This bill requires all New Jersey school buildings (with two or more rooms or single rooms above the first floor) to keep exterior exit doors locked from the outside access side but unlocked from the inside egress side during all school hours. It mandates that doors automatically unlock or are manually unlocked by staff during emergencies like fire alarms. Schools must conduct monthly fire and security drills, with law enforcement attending at least one annual drill to review procedures. The policy aims to balance safety for quick exits during emergencies while maintaining building security during normal hours.
