Relating to: school lockdown announcements. (FE)

AB 827 requires the Department of Justice to create and provide free prerecorded audio messages for school lockdown announcements to all public, private, and tribal schools. The bill mandates that schools include this specific audio message in their individualized safety plans when those plans require lockdown procedures. It directly affects school districts and administrators responsible for developing and implementing safety protocols. The law standardizes how lockdowns are communicated, replacing potentially inconsistent verbal announcements with a consistent, pre-approved audio message. This change applies to all school buildings regularly occupied by students.
