The legislature acknowledges that measures taken to enhance school safety through investments in facility harden- ing, violence intervention services, and school resource officers contribute to a broader strategy to mitigate and prevent violent acts on school grounds. The legislature further acknowledges that schools are intended to be communities and should be planned without sacrificing the inherent posi- tive qualities of school environments we all desire for our children, and that design solutions can help address social, psychological, economic, environmental, and safety factors while maintaining a healthy and productive learning environment. The legislature intends to provide school districts with the flexibil- ity to adapt to differing and evolving community concerns, support student health and safety, and create productive learning environments. § 3. The education law is amended by adding a new section 408-c to read as follows: § 408-C. SCHOOL SAFETY DESIGN AND PLANNING. A FIVE YEAR CAPITAL FACIL- ITIES PLAN, AS REQUIRED PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (D) OF SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION FOUR HUNDRED NINE-D OF THIS ARTICLE, SHALL CONSIDER THE INCORPO- RATION OF DESIGN ELEMENTS AND STRATEGIES AS PART OF A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO PROVIDE A SECURE AND SAFE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT.
