Bill Would Allow Students to be Warned Before Safety Drills

Current law states the emergency drills should be conducted “without previous warning.”
2019 Assembly BILL 54 would also give principals discretion over whether they want to provide a warning and to whom, which Wisconsin legislators say could be beneficial for students with disabilities who might have more adverse reactions to unannounced drills.
