The bill also reduces the frequency with which school boards, private schools,
and independent charter schools must submit school safety plans to the OSS. Under
current law, school safety plans must be submitted to the OSS annually. Under the
bill, school safety plans must be submitted to the OSS at least once every three years
and following a modification to the school safety plan.
Finally, under the bill, the OSS must annually review a random sampling of
school safety plans and provide feedback to the school board, independent charter
school, or private school that submitted the plan on whether the school safety plan
complies with state law and, if applicable, how to improve the school safety plan.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
