LD808

Maine LD808 mandates school boards and approved private school governing bodies to implement wearable panic alert systems starting in 2026-2027.

Maine LD808 requires school boards and governing bodies of approved private schools to implement wearable panic alert systems at each school building starting with the 2026-2027 school year. These systems must integrate with local public safety answering point infrastructure to transmit 9-1-1 calls and initiate campuswide lockdown notifications. The bill mandates that each staff person in a school building receive a wearable panic alert device and training on its use. It also requires that all security data within a school building be accessible by a local law enforcement agency.
