Protecting School Resource Officer Funding: Stability and Safety

This act aims to ensure consistent funding for school resource officer programs in elementary and secondary schools. It means schools must maintain their current spending levels on these officers to continue receiving full federal funds. Non-compliance could lead to a reduction in federal aid, potentially impacting the availability of safety programs.
Key points
Schools must maintain funding for school resource officers at a level no less than previous years to receive full federal funds.
State educational agencies will be required to annually report on spending and the number of school resource officers.
Failure to meet the funding requirement may result in a proportional reduction of federal funds for schools.
Waivers are possible for extraordinary financial circumstances like economic downturns or natural disasters.
