The ALYSSA Act requires elementary and secondary schools to have panic alarms for emergencies.
The ALYSSA Act amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to mandate that local educational agencies ensure each school has at least one panic alarm for emergencies. These alarms, defined as silent security signals for life-threatening situations, must be used in non-fire evacuations, lockdowns, or active shooter scenarios. This requirement applies as a condition for receiving funds under the Act.
