SUNRISE, Fla. (CBS12) — It’s been more than three years since 17 people were shot and killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

On Monday and Tuesday, the public safety commission assigned to investigate the deadly shooting is set to meet as it continues its mission to make Florida schools safer.

According to the agenda, one topic they plan to address is the implementation of Alyssa’s Law and its integration with 911 centers.

The sweeping school safety bill which Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law last year is named in honor of 14-year-old Alyssa Alhadeff who was killed in the 2018 Valentine's Day school massacre.

It requires that all schools install a panic-button system that allows teacher and staff members to silently alert law enforcement in the event of emergencies or life-threatening situations on all public and charter school campuses.

According to the meeting agenda, the public safety commission will also look a list of topics focused on issues when it comes to schools reporting violent threats.

The meeting comes just days after results of an audit were made public and found that the Broward School District was still failing to adequately respond to potentially violent students, years after the 2018 shooting.

According to our news partners at the Sun Sentinel, the district made changes to the way it conducts behavior threat assessments back in 2019 after a scathing report came down from this same commission.

The review was conducted by outside auditors hired by the district to measure compliance and after looking at 200 threat assessments, they found that more than half were not completed quickly, completely or with proper follow-up.

The last time the MSD Public Safety Commission met was February 2021. At that time the group, which includes parents of victims of the shooting as well as Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, discussed the third grand jury report on school safety in Florida. That report was completed in December of 2020.
