Bill Summary
Establishes a grant program to assist school districts in hiring school resource officers
AI Summary
This bill establishes a grant program to assist school districts in hiring school resource officers. The Missouri state training center for the D.A.R.E. program will develop the curriculum and certification requirements for school resource officers, who must complete at least 40 hours of basic training. The bill creates the "Grants for School Resource Officers Fund" in the state treasury, which the General Assembly may appropriate funds to annually. School districts can apply for grants from this fund to cover 70% of a school resource officer's salary, with the district providing the remaining 30%. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will verify the proposed officer's training and certification before disbursing the grant funds.
