Kentucky H.B. 14 Would Allow Teachers to Wear Panic Alert Badges in Schools
House Bill 14, also known as Alyssa’s Law, would allow Kentucky school districts to implement a wearable panic alert system at each school facilty that shall: “Connect emergency service technologies to ensure real-time coordination among multiple emergency responder agencies; Integrate with public safety answering point infrastructure to transmit 911 calls and mobile activations; and Be capable of initiating a campuswide lockdown notification.”
Meade County Schools was the first to issue CrisisAlert™ wearable panic badges to staff in 2024. Since then, six other districts have followed. Learn more about the bill and how Kentucky schools have embraced CrisisAlert to help keep their communities safe in this video.
Kentucky Center for School Safety
In 2019, Kentucky’s General Assembly passed Senate Bill 1. This bill authorizes the establishment of the Kentucky Center for School Safety (KCSS). The KCSS promotes and supports school safety initiatives by providing the following resources:
Data dissemination and analysis
Research
Information about successful school safety and security programs
Insight into best practices, training standards, research results, and new programs
Technical assistance for improving school safety
The KCSS serves as a clearing house for information about school violence prevention and provides expertise and technical support to schools, law enforcement agencies, and communities. The organization also supplies Kentucky districts with information about available statewide and national grants when they are available. In recent years, grant funding has been available for various school safety and security measures, including Kentucky school alert systems.
