AI Summary

This bill directs the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to conduct a comprehensive study to identify funding sources for establishing secure, single point of entry systems in all public schools across the state. The study will explore existing grants and funding mechanisms related to school rehabilitation and capital improvement costs, with the goal of understanding how schools can financially implement enhanced security entry points. The department is required to submit a report with its findings and potential legislative recommendations to an interim education-related legislative committee by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study directive on January 2, 2027, and it is classified as an emergency measure, which means it will take effect immediately upon passage. By using an emergency declaration, the legislature emphasizes the urgent nature of school safety improvements and the importance of understanding how to fund these critical security infrastructure changes.
