AI Summary
This bill:
1. Requires school districts and charter schools that employ officers on school campuses (including peace officers, reserve officers, off-duty officers, retired officers, and juvenile probation officers) to train them on how to recognize and effectively interact with children with disabilities.
2. Expands the School Safety Program to allow school districts and charter schools to use program funds to support the costs of school safety officers, in addition to school resource officers and juvenile probation officers.
