This bill mandates that each school district in Wyoming adopt safety and security policies, including threat assessment procedures, by the 2026-2027 school year. It requires that all door securement devices used in public school buildings be sourced from a list of approved devices provided by the state fire marshal. The superintendent of each district is responsible for implementing these policies, which are to remain confidential and not subject to public record inspection. Additionally, school district boards may discuss these policies in executive sessions.

The bill also amends existing laws to include a new duty for school district boards of trustees to adopt these safety and security policies in accordance with the newly created section. Furthermore, it establishes a requirement for the state fire marshal to provide a list of appropriate door securement devices to each school district by July 1, 2025, with the option to update this list annually. The act is effective immediately upon completion of the necessary legislative processes.
