Summary

Authorization of volunteer school security officers by local school boards and private or religious schools. Allows local school boards and private or religious schools to authorize volunteer school security officers to perform the same duties as employed school security officers. Within 10 years prior to receiving such authorization, any such officer shall have been (i) an active law-enforcement officer in the Commonwealth or (ii) employed by a law-enforcement agency of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof with duties substantially similar to those of a law-enforcement officer in the Commonwealth. The bill requires such officers to comply with the same training course required for employed school security officers in order to carry a firearm in the performance of their duties. The bill also requires school boards and private or religious schools to treat such officers the same as employed school security officers for the purposes of fingerprinting and criminal background checks, school safety procedures, and bullying and abusive work environment education.
