Bill > SB1639

This bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes to allow school districts to use funds from the Building Renewal Grant Fund for school building security projects, in addition to primary building renewal projects, and requires that new school facilities funded through the New School Facilities Fund include security equipment and features designed to prevent unauthorized entry. Specifically, it expands the purpose of the Building Renewal Grant Fund to include improving school building security, and mandates that new school construction projects funded by the New School Facilities Fund must incorporate security measures, with associated costs included in funding calculations. The bill also clarifies that school districts can partner with other entities to finance and design school facilities that meet adequacy standards and include these security features.
