DE HB96

Require every public school in Delaware to be equipped with a silent alarm system capable of manually alerting local law enforcement during emergencies.

Install at least one silent alarm activation point within each public school building.

Ensure silent alarm systems notify authorities without triggering an audible alarm inside the school.

Make school boards responsible for compliance with silent alarm system requirements in schools under their jurisdiction.

Make the law effective upon availability of funds in the Annual Appropriations Act, with Fiscal Year 2015 budget including $300,000 for school safety plans as potential funding source.
