SB2057

SB2057 mandates Illinois school districts to establish threat assessment teams and implement procedures for targeted school violence prevention.

SB2057 requires each school district to create a threat assessment team, including at least one law enforcement official and cross-disciplinary representatives. The team must be established within 180 days of the bill's effective date. The State Board of Education and the Office of the State Fire Marshal must develop guidelines for threat assessment procedures, rapid entry response plans, and cardiac emergency response plans. These guidelines must be clear and definitive, applicable to school districts, private schools, and first responders.
