More states are putting panic alarms in schools

Three states have enacted new laws this year that either require or permit schools to implement panic alarm systems. These security measures include mobile, wearable, wireless, or silent alarms designed to quickly summon emergency responders during crises. The legislation aims to enhance school safety by providing staff with immediate ways to alert authorities, ensuring a faster response time during emergencies. This trend reflects a growing legislative focus on integrating rapid-alert technology within educational environments across the country.
