LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1983, as amended, Waldron.
School safety: school district facilities and emergency practices: security assessment.
Existing law provides that school districts and county offices of education are responsible for the overall development of a comprehensive school safety plan for each of its schools, as provided. Existing law requires the schoolsite council of a school, except as provided for a small school district, to write and develop the comprehensive school safety plan relevant to the needs and resources of that particular school. Existing law requires the schoolsite council to consult with a representative from a law enforcement agency in the writing and development of the comprehensive school safety plan.
This bill would require each the governing board of a
school district, a county board of education, and the governing body of a charter school, before the commencement of the 2019–20 school year, to contract with a local law enforcement agency to provide a full security assessment of the school district’s facilities and emergency practices. practices of each school within its jurisdiction. By imposing additional requirements on governing boards of school districts, county boards of
education, and governing bodies of charter schools, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would authorize the governing board of a school district, a county board of education, and the governing body of a charter school to elect not to disclose the contents of the full security assessment.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
