HB268

Safe Classrooms Act

Date of Vote: March 31, 2025

Chamber of Origin: Senate

A school safety law passed after a high school shooting. It requires panic buttons for school staff, yearly digital maps of campuses for first responders, and mental health coordinators in every school district. It also creates a statewide tip line and speeds up how schools transfer student records. Initially, the bill included a statewide student tracking database, but that part was removed after privacy concerns. Instead, the final version allows for a limited alert system to flag students who have made verified threats or committed school violence, with due process protections in place.1
