## Resource

Three states roll out panic alarm laws— Illinois, Virginia, and West Virginia—joining 12 others in a sweeping push for faster emergency response in schools. Named after Alyssa’s Law, honoring the Parkland shooting victim, these systems range from mandatory tech to optional tools, with Texas requiring classroom alerts and Utah focusing on staff wearables. But here’s the twist: most alarms trigger for minor issues like fights or unauthorized exits—not life-threatening threats. Experts are raising eyebrows, urging schools to weigh whether these devices are truly necessary or just another costly mandate without proven impact.
