North Carolina S628 mandates parental notification of school threats, reinstates the Task Force for Safer Schools, and establishes the School Safety.

North Carolina S628, the Safe Schools Transparency Act, requires public schools to notify parents of credible threats targeting their child, the school, or the district. Schools must adopt a policy for these notifications, which must include details of the threat and actions taken. The act also reinstates the Task Force for Safer Schools, which advises the Center for Safer Schools and provides recommendations to improve statewide school safety policies. Additionally, the act establishes the School Safety Fund, which receives $25 million in nonrecurring funds for school safety initiatives.
