SB 1355: School safety: school security departments: contracted private licensed security agencies.
This bill requires school districts to establish clear guidelines for the use of weapons and roles of security personnel on school campuses. School districts that establish a security department or enter into a contract with a private security agency must specify the parameters for the use of weapons, such as handcuffs, pepper spray, batons, and firearms. The bill also outlines the roles and responsibilities of school administrators, security department personnel, and contracted security officers to ensure the safety of personnel and pupils. School administrators are assigned primary responsibility for deescalation, with security personnel playing a supporting role.
