2025 House Bill 14: AN ACT relating to school safety

This bill further funds school safety by giving teachers wearable panic buttons. The panic alert systems would send a message directly to 911 and distribute integrated officials of the school and any emergency services. The buttons will also be able to initiate for a school lockdown and provide access to school cameras and other useful data to the situation. This program provide a 50% match to school districts' costs for the implementation of the wearable panic alert system and maintenance.

KSVT supports this bill because it would help students and teachers reach safety more quickly and reduce the response time of first responders.
