SB 1181: Violence Prevention, Pupil Wellness, and School Safety Grant Program.
The bill aims to improve communication between local educational agencies and regional fusion centers regarding credible school safety threats. It establishes a pilot program in certain counties, including Fresno, Kern, Kings, Tulare, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin, and Stanislaus, to study and evaluate improved coordination protocols. The program will develop voluntary protocols between participating agencies and fusion centers, ensuring compliance with state and federal privacy laws. The program will not involve the bulk monitoring of students or collection of student information unrelated to a credible safety threat. A report will be submitted to the legislature by January 1, 2029, to evaluate the program's effectiveness.
