Existing law, the Interagency School Safety Demonstration Act of 1985, requires school districts and county offices of education to be responsible for the overall development of comprehensive school safety plans for its schools operating kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive. Existing law requires each school to review and update its comprehensive school safety plan by March 1 every year. Existing law requires a new school campus to adopt a comprehensive school safety plan within 1 year of initiating operation and to review and update that plan by March 1 every year thereafter.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions. require a school to also
post the comprehensive school safety plan on its Internet Web site, as specified. By adding to the duties of public schools, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
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.
