Iowa HF603 enhances school safety through grant programs, attendance center standards, and emergency planning.

Iowa HF603 mandates that school districts and accredited nonpublic schools evaluate the use of shatter-resistant and intrusion-resistant films in attendance centers. It requires the installation of new or modified door systems to prevent blocking of ingress or egress, and mandates that all doors and windows in attendance centers be shatter-resistant or intrusion-resistant. The bill also requires the implementation of access control and visitor entry plans, and the use of electronic school threat reporting platforms.
