❌ HB189
Regards statewide school behavioral threat management process
Current Status: In House Committee (Education)
Summary
The bill establishes a statewide behavioral threat management operational process for public and chartered nonpublic schools in Ohio. It requires each school district to create a threat assessment team for grades six through twelve, which must complete approved training programs. The bill also mandates the development of a threat management portal for reporting and managing potential threats to school safety.
Rationale
The bill increases government oversight and intervention in schools, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of minimal government involvement and individual rights. It imposes requirements on schools that may infringe on parental rights and autonomy in education, leading to a lower alignment with Libertarian values.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over educational institutions
- Potential violation of student privacy rights
- Risk of misidentification of threats leading to unjust consequences
