5 Steps to SB 68 Compliance Before the Next School Year

Introduction 

Missouri Senate Bill 68 (SB 68) requires schools to meet new safety training standards. For administrators, the clock is ticking — compliance isn’t optional, and the sooner you start, the smoother the process will be. 

The good news? SB 68 compliance doesn’t have to be complicated. By breaking it into five manageable steps, you can position your school for success before the next school year begins. 

Step 1: Evaluate Your Current Readiness 

● Review existing safety training records. 

● Identify gaps — Did all staff receive training? Was it documented? 

● Look beyond paperwork: ask whether staff actually feel prepared in a real-world scenario. 

A simple gap analysis helps you understand whether your school is 10% or 90% ready. 

Step 2: Educate Staff on SB 68 Standards 

● Conduct a baseline session explaining what SB 68 requires. 

● Ensure staff understand both the compliance side (documentation, policies) and the practical side (skills to respond). 

● Keep it approachable — staff shouldn’t feel overwhelmed by legal language. 

Staff buy-in starts with clear communication, not fear. 

Step 3: Equip Your Team with Practical Training 

● Move beyond “check-the-box” online modules. 

● Deliver interactive training that includes evacuation, escape, and communication drills. 

● Provide simple tools (guides, checklists) that staff can use immediately. 

Real confidence comes from practice, not paperwork. 

Step 4: Document and Report for Compliance 

● Create clear, centralized records of staff attendance and participation. 

● Use a consistent format that can be easily shared with boards, districts, or auditors. 

● Make compliance reporting part of your regular administrative process, not a once-a-year scramble. 

Good documentation protects both staff and administrators. 

Step 5: Empower Staff With Confidence, Not Just Compliance 

● Compliance is the baseline. Empowerment is the goal. 

● Training should leave staff feeling capable, calm, and supported. 

● Build a culture of readiness — so safety becomes second nature, not a once-a-year event. 

A confident team protects students better than a checklist ever could.
