Redirecting School Energy Funds to Enhance Safety and Security Measures.
This law redirects $100 million annually, originally allocated for school energy efficiency, towards enhancing school safety and security programs nationwide. These funds will be used by schools to implement physical security upgrades, install crisis communication technology, and hire security personnel. The goal is to protect students and staff from violence and improve emergency response capabilities.
Key points
Federal money is shifted to fund physical security improvements in schools, including access control systems, bullet-resistant infrastructure, and technology for concealing students during crises.
Schools can use grants to hire security officers and implement digital content monitoring on school platforms, provided human review is used and data stays within the US.
The legislation requires matching funds from states (20%) and schools (5%), though the school match can be waived for high-poverty or rural areas.
