AI Summary
This bill modifies the school safety allotment under the Foundation School Program by increasing funding for school districts. Specifically, the bill raises the per-student safety allotment from $10 to $14, and increases the per-campus safety allotment from $15,000 to $37,000. The amount per student will also continue to be prorated based on a district's maximum basic allotment, with additional funding provided for districts with higher basic allotments. Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement that mandates school districts submit an annual report to the state education agency by December 1st detailing how they have spent these school safety funds. The changes will take effect on September 1, 2025, providing school districts with increased resources to enhance campus safety and security measures.
