S 2682 New Jersey Senate · 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 all public and nonpublic schools. The system allows schools to alert students, staff, parents/guardians, and teachers during active shooter incidents on school grounds. Key features include: (1) letting users register any mobile device (like phones or tablets) to receive alerts, (2) ensuring compatibility with all device types, and (3) automatically connecting to local law enforcement or state police upon activation. Schools must customize the system using registered contacts but face no costs for implementation.
