Pennsylvania HB634 amends the Public School Code to require school safety and security coordinators to consider implementing panic alarm systems.

Pennsylvania HB634 amends the Public School Code to enhance school safety by requiring school safety and security coordinators to consider implementing panic alarm systems as part of their review of school policies and procedures. A panic alarm system is defined as a silent security system signal generated by the manual activation of a device, such as a wired panic button or a wireless panic button. This change aims to provide an additional layer of safety in schools, ensuring that coordinators are aware of and can implement such systems to respond to life-threatening or emergency situations.
