School safety: School Mapping Data Grant Program.
- Establishes a grant program for schools to create standardized digital maps to help emergency responders during campus crises.
- Requires schools to collaborate with local emergency services when selecting mapping vendors and systems.
- Authorizes the Office of Emergency Services to manage the program and determine mapping data requirements.
- Provides one-time grants to schools contingent upon future legislative funding.
Assembly Member Gipson's School Mapping Data Grant Program legislation proposes a new framework to help public safety agencies respond more efficiently to campus emergencies through standardized school mapping systems. The measure would establish a grant program under the Office of Emergency Services to fund contracts between local educational agencies and qualified mapping data vendors.
The program aims to create a unified, verified source of campus mapping data that public safety agencies can access during emergencies. Local educational agencies - including school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools - would select mapping systems in partnership with law enforcement, fire departments, and other emergency responders to meet specific operational needs. The Office of Emergency Services would determine data requirements for eligible mapping programs and oversee grant distribution.
Implementation depends on future legislative appropriations through the annual budget process or separate legislation. The Office of Emergency Services may use up to 5% of allocated funds for administrative costs. The measure builds upon existing requirements for comprehensive school safety planning while adding a new technological component to emergency response capabilities.
