This bill proposes an appropriation of $250,000 from the General Fund for the fiscal year 2026-27 to the State Department of Education. The allocated funds are intended to develop and administer a program that will provide grants to various educational entities, including school districts, educational service units, and approved or accredited private, denominational, or parochial schools.

The primary purpose of the program is to support the purchase of cybersecurity products and services, thereby enhancing the security infrastructure within educational institutions. This initiative aims to address the growing need for improved cybersecurity measures in schools, ensuring that they are better equipped to protect sensitive information and maintain a safe learning environment.
