VA Code

I’m following up on your phone call this morning regarding the VA Code that allows for
you to review the Discovery STEM Academy Safety Audit.
It is NOT part of VA FOIA code.
The Code section is § 22.1-279.8. (School safety audits and school crisis, emergency
management, and medical emergency response plans required). In pertinent part,
subsection B of the said Code section states, “The local school board shall retain
authority to withhold or limit the release of any security plans, walk-through checklists,
floor plans, and specific vulnerability assessment components as provided in subdivision
4 of § 2.2-3705.2. The completed walk-through checklist shall be made available to the
chief law-enforcement officer of the locality or his designee. Each school shall maintain a
copy of the school safety audit, which may exclude such security plans, walk-through
checklists, and vulnerability assessment components, within the office of the school
principal and shall make a copy of such report available for review upon written
request.”
Let me know if you have additional questions.
