Plain-language change summary

The new version of Bill HB 938 changes the requirement for charter schools to develop a School Risk Management Plan (SRMP) from being merely encouraged to being mandatory. This means that all charter schools must now work with local law enforcement to create these plans aimed at addressing school violence. Additionally, the revised bill emphasizes the importance of sharing safety information with local authorities and highlights specific safety measures like providing schematic diagrams and emergency access to local law enforcement. These changes matter because they aim to enhance school safety and ensure a structured response to potential emergencies.
