California AB2754 amends school district security protocols to ensure safety of personnel and pupils.

AB2754 modifies the Education Code to enhance school district security. It mandates that school districts with security or police departments set minimum employment qualifications for their chiefs, including prior peace officer experience or approved training. The bill also allows districts to establish school police departments and employ peace officers, using existing resources for pupil support services like mental health and cultural competency training. The intent is to evaluate campus law enforcement and explore alternatives for pupil safety.
