South Carolina H3258 mandates mobile panic alert systems in public schools for real-time emergency coordination.

South Carolina H3258 requires each public school district and charter school to acquire and implement a mobile panic alert system by July 1, 2026. These systems must connect to local public safety answering-point infrastructure to transmit 911 calls and mobile activations. The Department of Education, in consultation with law enforcement and public safety, will identify vendors meeting these requirements. The State Board of Education will establish regulations for system implementation, and mandatory annual training for school personnel is mandated.
