Bill > HB2831

This bill amends existing Arizona law regarding school safety programs by allowing school districts and charter schools to submit alternative program proposals for funding to purchase safety technology, safety training, and make infrastructure improvements, in addition to the existing options of placing school resource officers, juvenile probation officers, school safety officers, school counselors, or school social workers on campus. These alternative proposals must detail the specific safety needs, proposed expenditures, and how the requested items will address those needs, including specific technology or training sought and costs for infrastructure improvements like securing entrances and exits. The bill clarifies that these alternative proposals are a direct option for schools, rather than a fallback if other personnel cannot be placed, and requires them to be submitted to the department of education for review and administration, similar to the existing personnel-based proposals.
