Nebraska School Emergency Response Mapping Fund: LB 1329
Passed on April 16, 2024, Nebraska LB 1329 funds critical incident mapping technology in schools. This legislation establishes a School Emergency Response Mapping Fund to provide funds to school systems for school mapping data. The purpose of these maps is to assist first responders in responding to emergencies in schools.
The mapping data must, at a minimum, meet all of the following requirements:
- Be compatible with and able to be integrated into software platforms used by public safety agencies that provide emergency services to the specific school for which the data is provided without requiring: (A) The purchase of additional software by such public safety agencies; or (B) The integration of third-party software to view the data
- Be a finished map product in a file format easily accessible using a standard or open-source file reader, depending on the needs of the school and the public safety agency
- Be provided in a printable format
- Be verified for accuracy, during production and annually, through a walk-through of the school campus
- Give an indication of what direction is true north
- Include accurate floor plans overlaid on accurate, verified aerial imagery of the school campus
- Contain site-specific labeling that matches the structure of school buildings, including room labels, hallway names, external door or stairwell numbers, locations of hazards, key utility locations, key boxes, automated external defibrillators, and trauma kits using standard labeling rules set by the State Department of Education
- Contain site-specific labeling that matches the school grounds, including parking areas, athletic fields, surrounding roads, and neighboring properties using standard labeling rules set by the State Department of Education
- Be overlaid with a grid and coordinates
With CENTEGIX Safety Blueprint™, your district can meet and exceed the critical incident mapping requirements of LB 1329.
School Safety and Security-Related Infrastructure Grant
Nebraska’s Department of Education (NDE) is taking proactive steps to enhance the security and safety measures in the state’s educational institutions. The School Safety and Security-Related Infrastructure Grant, supported by a $10 million fund allocated by the Nebraska Legislature in June, has been launched to assist both public and private schools in upgrading their security-related infrastructure.
This initiative focuses on addressing the pressing need for improved physical security across educational settings by channeling funds into advanced technology, essential safety equipment, and significant infrastructure enhancements. Upgrades eligible for funding include but are not lomited to the following crucial security measures.
Bleeding control kits
Door locking mechanisms
Visitor management systems
Ground lighting
Notification systems
Screening devices
The overarching objective is to create secure and conducive learning environments for students throughout Nebraska.
Schools interested in accessing a portion of the competitive grant funds are encouraged to submit their applications before the March 14th, 2024 deadline. Anticipated award announcements are set for April 3, 2024.
For detailed information on the grant program, including objectives, eligibility criteria, fund usage guidelines, application requirements, timeline, and post-award obligations, click here.
The NDE strongly urges all eligible institutions to seize this vital opportunity to enhance their safety protocols and infrastructure. Through collaborative efforts, a safer and more secure learning environment can be established for both students and educators across the state.
