Pennsylvania SB246 mandates parental and employee notification of weapon incidents in schools.

Pennsylvania SB246 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require school entities to notify parents, guardians, and employees of incidents involving the possession of a weapon on school property. The notification must occur within 24 hours of the incident, using a method likely to reach the intended recipients. If the incident occurs at a school building, notification is limited to parents and employees of that specific building. If the building shares a campus with others, notification extends to all buildings on the campus.
