Bill Summary
To allow school districts to use school security infrastructure competitive grant program funds to employ armed school security officers.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend title 10 of the general statutes to expand the use of school security infrastructure competitive grant program funds, allowing local or regional school boards to employ armed school security officers using these grant funds. The School Security Infrastructure Grant Program, which previously likely focused on physical security improvements like security systems or building modifications, would now be permitted to fund personnel costs specifically for security officers who are authorized to carry firearms while on duty. By enabling schools to use existing grant money to hire armed security personnel, the bill aims to provide additional safety measures for educational institutions, giving school districts more flexibility in how they can deploy security resources to protect students and staff. This change could potentially help schools enhance their security capabilities without requiring additional funding beyond the existing competitive grant program.
