Alabama's House Bill 7 was signed into law and is effective as of July 1, 2026.
Parents and guardians, please talk to your students about the implications and consequences of the things they say to others at school. Even if they are "just mad" and even if "they didn't mean it," this new law REQUIRES the schools to follow a specific process in how threats are handled at school.
Alabama's school threat legislation under House Bill 7 standardizes district responses to threats, increases criminal penalties for students and their parents, and mandates strict mental health and legal clearances before an accused student can return to school.
All Pre-K students and their parents are invited to attend Pre-K Orientation on Monday, May 18, from 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm, at the Vernon Elementary School Library. This is for students who will attend South Lamar, Sulligent, or Vernon Pre-K in the fall of 2026. Please RSVP using the Google Form.
