Chief Jimmy Williams reports eight HB 1473 noncompliance incidents, all remedied within 24 hours and reported to state
Summary
As required under House Bill 1473, school safety specialists of record provided a quarterly report: Chief Jimmy Williams told the board the district logged eight noncompliance issues in the last quarter, each addressed the same day and remedied within 24 hours and reported to the Florida Department of Education.
Chief Jimmy Williams delivered the district’s second quarterly report under House Bill 1473, the law requiring school safety specialists of record to document and report compliance issues to the state. Williams told trustees the district recorded eight noncompliance incidents in the last quarter; staff actions were taken the same day each issue was reported and each matter was remedied within 24 hours, he said.
Williams said district staff filed the required reports with the Florida Department of Education and notified appropriate school directors. He offered board members access to an executive set of records for review in his office.
Board members asked whether any legislative activity in the special session would affect school-safety rules; Williams said he had heard discussions about potential deregulatory measures related to after‑hours locked gates and doors and that some proposals might affect app‑based threat reporting programs. Williams said he would follow up with trustees when he had more specific information.
Ending: The report was informational and no board action was recorded in the transcript. Williams invited trustees to review the records in his office.
