BRIAN KEMP

Brian P. Kemp is a husband, father, businessman, and public servant. On November 6, 2018, he was elected as Georgia’s 83rd Governor, earning more votes than any gubernatorial candidate in state history.

Governor Kemp built his first business – Kemp Development and Construction Company – with a pick-up truck and a shovel. Over thirty years later, he is a successful entrepreneur with companies and investments in banking, farming, timber, manufacturing, and real estate.

Brian Kemp ran for Governor on a bold, conservative plan to spur economic growth, reform state government, strengthen rural communities, lower healthcare costs, and protect Georgia families from violence. Since his inauguration on January 14, 2019, he’s worked tirelessly to turn those campaign promises into reality and build a safer, stronger Georgia for all who call the Peach State home.

Enhancing School Safety

In his first year in office, Governor Kemp proposed and signed into law school security grants of $30,000 to every school in the state. Schools used these funds to harden their campuses, utilize technology, and train staff.

In his second term, Governor Kemp will propose the following legislation to further enhance school safety efforts statewide.

  • Offer “intruder alert drills” for teachers and staff once during the months of August and September.
    • Intruder alert drills are not currently required in code and there is no reporting requirement
    • Legislation would require intruder alert drill notification to GEMA
    • Parents may opt their child out of these drills
    • District will have local control on what specific drills look like
  • Schools Safety/Anti-Gang Voluntary Training Endorsement for New Teachers
    • New teachers will be allowed to take school safety training and gang prevention training, developed by GEMA and GaPSC, as a voluntary endorsement with no cost to the teacher.
  • School Safety/Anti-Gang Voluntary Training Endorsement for Current Teachers
    • Current teachers will be allowed to take school safety training and gang prevention training, developed by GEMA and GaPSC, as a voluntary endorsement with no cost to the teacher.
  • School Safety Plans must be submitted to the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMA)
    • Currently districts submit plans to the local emergency management agency and local law enforcement. This will allow GEMA to ensure that schools have appropriate school safety plans.
    • This is not an additional burden on the school system because they already have to submit plans
  • Continuing education for School Resource Officers (SROs)
    • Recommendation for continuing education for SROs every two years as approved by POST
