    Key Takeaways

    • Establishes a grant program for schools to create standardized campus mapping data for emergency responders.
    • Requires schools to partner with local emergency services when selecting mapping data programs.
    • Mandates data security measures to protect sensitive school safety information.
    • Allows the Office of Emergency Services to use 5% of funds for program administration.

    Summary

    Assembly Member Gipson's school safety legislation establishes a mapping data grant program to help public safety agencies respond more efficiently to campus emergencies. The one-time grants, administered by the Office of Emergency Services, would allow school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools to contract with qualified vendors for standardized facility mapping data.

    The program requires participating schools to select mapping systems in consultation with local law enforcement, firefighting and emergency services agencies. These systems must incorporate the same parameters and security protocols as existing web-based school safety programs, including measures to protect student and staff data. The Office of Emergency Services, in coordination with the State 9-1-1 Advisory Board, will determine specific data requirements for eligible mapping programs.

    To maintain security, the bill classifies certain tactical response information as confidential and exempt from public records requests. The Office of Emergency Services may use up to 5% of allocated funds for administrative costs, with implementation contingent on legislative appropriation through the state budget process or separate legislation.
