Purpose
To set forth requirements relating to school safety and to define certain safety measures that schools are expected to meet. Amendments will address new requirements as a result of recent legislation to include: establishing minimum emergency drill policies and procedures related to the timing, frequency, participation, training, notification, accommodations, and responses to threat situations by incident type, school level, school type, and student and school characteristics. The rule must require all types of emergency drills to be conducted no less frequently than on an annual school year basis. Other general matters relating to school safety monitoring, reporting and training, and threat assessment, will also be considered.
