Two recent legislative enactments impose new obligations on school districts that affect student safety.

House Bill (HB) 99 changed the requirements for schools that choose to arm staff. HB 123 required school districts to conduct threat assessments, assemble and train threat assessment teams and add elements to their local emergency management plans.

OSBA Policy Consultant Gamy Narvaez joins the podcast to help address questions and the implementation of these new laws.
