The bill establishes a school security personnel grant program to provide financial assistance to smaller school districts for hiring security officers.

  • Section 279.84

    The department of education shall develop and administer a school security personnel grant program to provide annual grants to match moneys provided by school districts with a total enrollment of less than one thousand students to allow such school districts to offset costs associated with employing, or retaining the services of, a private school security officer or school resource officer.

    This addition creates a new grant program to help smaller school districts fund security personnel.

  • Section 279.84

    A school security personnel grant program fund is established in the state treasury. The fund shall be administered by the department of education and shall consist of moneys appropriated by the general assembly and other moneys received by the department for deposit in the fund.

    This establishes a dedicated fund for the school security personnel grant program.

  • Section 279.84

    Notwithstanding section 8.33, moneys in the fund at the close of the fiscal year shall not revert to the general fund of the state but shall remain available for expenditure for the school security personnel grant program for subsequent fiscal years.

    This provision ensures that funds allocated for the program do not revert at the end of the fiscal year, allowing for continued use.
