Permitting teachers to wear a “mobile alert button” for emergency situations, to be known as “Alyssa’s Law.”

Summary

The bill orders the West Virginia Board of Education and the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management to adopt rules that let every public school use a wearable panic alert device, if funding is available. County boards may draw money from a new Alyssa Alhadeff School Safety Fund to purchase the devices, must train staff on proper use, and must give local police access to school security data. The devices can place 911 calls and trigger a campus‑wide lockdown, aiming to improve school safety.
