California school alert systems are proactive acknowledgments that school violence has become a major concern and priority in safety planning in schools across the state. By California law, school districts need to develop Comprehensive School Safety Plans that should be adopted by March 1st each year to deal with a variety of emergencies:

• weapons/assault/hostage
• explosion
• gas/fumes

Assembly Bill 1747 also requires California schools to include specific procedures “to prepare for active shooters or other armed assailants” in their schools safety plans. Training also should be available for staff and students, so they understand how to react in emergency situations.

In addition, plans should include clear guidelines for the roles and responsibilities of mental health professionals, school counselors, community intervention professionals, school resource officers, and police officers on campus.

The California Department of Education has compiled resources about violence prevention, school safety planning, and more that California educational leaders can take advantage of when reviewing their district’s safety plans. Visit the CDE’s website to find targeted information on school safety issues, intervention prorgams, sample templates, guidance on training and implementation, and best practices.

The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services has also created valuable resources for educators on school emergency preparedness planning and safety. Explore available resources on their website.
