Bill > SB5656

This bill establishes the school security and preparedness infrastructure grant program within the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The program provides competitive grants to public school districts to increase the physical security of K-12 public school facilities and campuses, such as through improving entrance and door security, fencing, perimeter security infrastructure, and projects to direct public entry through fewer entrances. The bill sets limits on administrative expenses and the maximum grant award per district, and requires annual progress reporting to the legislature on the total applications received and projects approved for funding.
