School Safety and Youth in Crisis Committee

The committee must: study issues relating to school safety and the prevention of threats to the safety of students, teachers, and others; study and evaluate programs and methods for identifying and monitoring students in crisis; develop standardized criteria for school personnel to use in assessing the potential threat posed by one or more students; and study the requirements of a recent law enacted regarding the duty of school districts and charter schools and their employees to exercise reasonable care to protect all students, faculty, and staff from harm resulting from acts committed by another person when the harm is reasonably foreseeable, while such students, faculty, and staff are within the school facilities or are participating in school-sponsored activities.
