Requires DOE to establish online school security resource clearinghouse.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Education to create an online system where school districts can share security personnel and equipment during emergencies. The system must be accessible only to authorized school staff, show nearby available resources, and be operational within one year of the bill's effective date. It directs the Department to publish a list of resources needed for different emergency scenarios to help districts prepare. The bill focuses on creating a practical tool for resource coordination, not changing existing security laws or funding. (Procedural bill; summary is concise as requested.)
