House Bill 2398 amends Tennessee Code Annotated to enhance school safety measures. Specifically, it adds "local law enforcement officials" to the list of entities that should be included in school safety considerations. Additionally, the bill modifies the requirements for school safety teams by mandating that both district-wide and building-level safety teams conduct an annual review of their respective safety plans.

The bill aims to strengthen collaboration between schools and local law enforcement, ensuring that safety protocols are comprehensive and up-to-date. The changes are intended to improve the overall safety framework within Tennessee schools, reflecting a commitment to the welfare of students and staff. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law.
