Education: safety; 1 emergency and safety manager and at least 1 mental health coordinator; require each intermediate school district to employ. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1308g.

This bill requires each intermediate school district in Michigan to hire at least one emergency and safety manager and one mental health coordinator. The aim is to enhance safety measures and mental health support within schools. It amends existing education laws to ensure these positions are established.

Supporters of the bill argue that hiring dedicated emergency and safety managers, along with mental health coordinators, will create safer school environments and provide essential support for students' mental well-being. They believe this proactive approach will help prevent crises and promote a healthier school culture.

Critics of the bill may argue that it places an additional financial burden on intermediate school districts, which may already be facing budget constraints. They might also contend that simply adding positions does not address the underlying issues affecting school safety and mental health, and that more comprehensive solutions are needed.
