An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in school safety and security, further providing for school safety and security coordinator.

HB 634 requires Pennsylvania public school safety coordinators to evaluate implementing silent panic alarm systems as part of school safety reviews. The bill defines these systems as manual devices (wired buttons, wireless buttons, or apps) that signal life-threatening emergencies to local law enforcement or designated Pennsylvania State Police locations if no municipal police exist. This applies to all public schools and affects private/parochial schools under the Public School Code. The change mandates coordinators to specifically consider these systems when reviewing safety policies, without creating new funding or broad mandates. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
