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.
