SB2498

Alyssa's Law requires Mississippi public schools to implement a panic alert system with wearable devices for staff.

Alyssa's Law mandates that every school district and charter school in Mississippi implement a panic alert system using wearable panic alert devices for staff. These devices allow immediate contact with local emergency response agencies. The system must be capable of initiating a campus-wide lockdown notification with audible and visual cues. Schools must provide training for staff on the use of these devices before the school year begins.
