Summary: Policy updated to clarify the district's responsibility to annually review comprehensive school safety plans. Also, policy updated to reflect NEW LAW (AB 1747) which requires the California Department of Education (CDE) to post a compliance checklist for developing the comprehensive safety plan and best practices related to reviewing and approving the plan, and requires districts to share their approved comprehensive safety plans with local law enforcement, the fire department, and other first responder entities.

Regulation updated to delete the requirement to include hate crime reporting procedures in the safety plan, as they are no longer required by law. List of optional plan components expanded to include (1) policy related to firearms possession on campus; (2) measures to minimize gang influence; (3) guidelines for the roles and responsibilities of mental health professionals, community intervention professionals, school counselors, school resource officers, and police officers on school campuses; (4) strategies for suicide prevention; (5) procedures to handle disruptions; and (6) concepts related to environmental safety. Also, regulation updated to reflect AB 1747, which adds requirements to consult with the fire department and other first responders in developing safety plans and to develop procedures for conducting tactical responses to criminal incidents, including procedures related to individuals with guns on campus and at school-related functions.
