This bill mandates an annual appropriation of $1 million to educational services commissions that provide in-classroom instruction and educational services to students residing in SDA (School Development Authority) districts. Currently, these commissions do not receive direct State funding for school facilities projects or security improvements, despite having similar needs as SDA districts. The bill aims to address this gap by ensuring that these commissions receive the necessary funding to enhance their facilities and security measures, thereby preventing the diversion of funds from student instruction.

The legislation outlines that the appropriated funds will be utilized for various school facilities projects, which include planning, construction, and maintenance of educational facilities, as well as specific school security improvements such as monitoring technology and access control systems. The bill emphasizes the importance of providing equitable support to educational services commissions, ensuring that they can maintain safe and effective learning environments for their students. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
