New laws have been enacted in several states to enhance school safety. This year, three states have passed legislation that requires or allows schools to use certain types of panic alarms. These alarms can be mobile, wearable, wireless, or silent, and are designed to quickly summon emergency responders.

The laws aim to provide a rapid response mechanism in emergency situations. Further details about the specific laws and their implementation are available from the source.

The use of panic alarms is becoming more widespread as more states adopt similar measures to improve school safety.
