This bill aims to allocate $1 million annually 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 any State funding for school facilities projects or security improvements, despite having similar needs as the SDA districts. The bill recognizes the importance of providing direct State funding to these commissions to ensure that resources are not diverted from student instruction.

The legislation specifies that the funds will be appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Education each fiscal year to support school facilities projects and security improvements. It defines key terms such as "school facility," "school facilities project," and "school security improvements," outlining the types of projects eligible for funding. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage, thereby addressing the funding gap for educational services commissions in SDA districts.
