Present law requires a public school building, including a public charter school building, constructed or remodeled after July 1, 2023, to, at a minimum, meet the following requirements: (1) Include a door-locking mechanism on each classroom door that allows the classroom door to be locked from the inside; (2) Have installed a clear, bullet-resistant or entry-resistant film on the glass panel of each exterior entry or basement level window and door to prevent individuals from entering the school building without authorization by breaking the glass in an exterior entry or basement level window or door; (3) Include a camera system that continuously monitors each entrance, hallway, and communal area in the school building during regular school hours and during school-related events and activities conducted on school grounds that is accessible by a local law enforcement agency in an emergency situation; and (4) Include at least one secure vestibule that serves as the primary entrance to the school building that contains two separate sets of doors through which a person must pass to gain entrance into the school building that are each capable of being locked separately to prevent a person from entering the school building until an LEA or school employee authorizes a person to enter. This bill adds to the present law by requiring a public school building, including a public charter school building, constructed or remodeled after July 1, 2024, to, at a minimum, also have installed a clear window film or security glass that meets the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F3561 Standard Test Method for Forced-Entry-Resistance of Fenestration Systems After Simulated Active Shooter Attack standard for glass panels on each exterior entry door plus any glass adjoining an exterior entry door to prevent individuals from entering the school building without authorization by breaking the glass in an exterior entry door.
