Alyssa's Law mandates silent panic alarm systems in Mississippi public and charter schools to enhance safety.

Alyssa's Law requires all public and charter schools in Mississippi to install silent panic alarm systems starting from the 2025-2026 school year. These systems must directly notify local law enforcement of emergencies, integrate with E-911 and mobile activation, and allow discreet activation by authorized personnel. The law also mandates that school personnel and law enforcement receive training on the systems. Additionally, it establishes a grant program to assist school districts in implementing these systems, with funds allocated based on need.
