School Safety Requirements and Monitoring

PURPOSE:

To set forth requirements relating to school safety and to define certain safety measures that schools are expected to meet. Amendments will address changes as a result of the need to make training available for parents and guardians on the proper use, and consequences for misuse, of FortifyFL, the mobile suspicious activity reporting tool.

SUMMARY:

Office of Safe Schools will require districts to make available a training for parents and guardians of students on FortifyFL, including the consequences for making a threat or false report, prior to the start of each school year. Additional changes will require that the school safety specialist or designee provide the copy of the Florida School Safety Compliance Inspection Report to the school administrator, whether the principal or charter school administrator. The final change is an update to the name of one of the online Federal Emergency Management Agency Independent Study courses required for newly appointed school safety specialists.
