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 allocating State funds specifically for school facilities projects and security enhancements, thereby ensuring that resources are not diverted from student instruction.

The legislation defines key terms related to school facilities and security improvements, outlining what constitutes a school facility and the types of projects eligible for funding. It specifies that the funds can be used for various activities, including planning, construction, and modernization of school facilities, as well as implementing safety measures such as security cameras and electronic notification systems. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
