The Safe Passage Training and School Engagement Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance the training requirements for Safe Passage ambassadors, who are responsible for ensuring the safety of students traveling to and from school. The bill mandates monthly training sessions focused on de-escalation and conflict resolution, as well as cultural competency and mental health awareness, to better equip ambassadors in their interactions with students. Additionally, the bill requires training on recognizing signs of abuse, neglect, and domestic violence, ensuring that ambassadors are prepared to address various challenges they may encounter.

To improve coordination between Safe Passage ambassadors and school administrators, the bill stipulates at least two mandatory meetings per year. This provision is designed to foster better communication and collaboration, ultimately strengthening the relationship between the ambassadors and the school community. The amendments to the School Proximity Traffic Calming Act of 2000 include specific training requirements, such as monthly bystander intervention training and cultural competency training, which aim to create a safer and more supportive environment for students.
