Senate Bill 11 amends the Education Code to require school districts to adopt and implement a multihazard emergency operations plan with provisions for training, drills, interagency coordination, and security audits. The bill adds assisting school districts in developing such plans and developing security criteria for instructional facilities to the Texas School Safety Center's list of duties. The bill requires a school district to consider center security criteria for instructional facilities when building a new facility or conducting major renovation of an existing facility. The bill makes the center's provision of certain on-site technical assistance discretionary rather than mandatory.
