Title: Comprehensive school safety plans: schoolsite councils.
Author: Albert Y. Muratsuchi

Summary
AB 3199, as introduced, Muratsuchi. Comprehensive school safety plans: schoolsite councils. Existing law makes each school district and county office of education responsible for the overall development of comprehensive school safety plans for its schools operating kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive. Existing law requires a schoolsite council to write and develop a comprehensive school safety plan relevant to the needs and resources of that particular school, as provided. Existing law authorizes the schoolsite council to delegate this responsibility to a school safety planning committee made up of specified members. Existing law requires these members to serve as the school safety planning committee in the absence of a schoolsite council. This bill would add as a member of a school safety planning committee to which this responsibility may be delegated, or to which that responsibility is assigned in the absence of a schoolsite council, one pupil, if the school enrolls pupils in grades 9 to 12, inclusive.Existing law requires the schoolsite council to consult with a representative from a law enforcement agency, a fire department, and other first responder entities in the writing and development of the comprehensive school safety plan, and requires that the plan and any updates to the plan be shared with those represented entities.This bill would specify that those other first responder entities with which consultation and sharing of the plans and updates are required are those having jurisdiction within the school’s boundary.To the extent this bill would impose additional duties on a school district and county office of education in developing of a comprehensive school safety plan, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.The bill would also update related code references. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

Status
Referred to Com. on ED.
