Plain-language change summary

The updated version of House Bill 962 emphasizes that charter schools must hold at least one full school-wide lockdown exercise each year, in coordination with local law enforcement and emergency management agencies. Previously, these exercises were only encouraged, but now they are a requirement, reflecting a stronger commitment to student safety. This change is important because it ensures that schools are actively practicing their emergency response plans, which can help to better prepare staff and students for potential safety threats.
