S.B. No. 260 amends the Education Code to increase the annual school safety allotment provided to school districts under the Foundation School Program. The bill specifies that a school district is entitled to an annual allotment of $20 for each student in average daily attendance, which is an increase from the previous amount of $10. Additionally, the bill raises the per campus allotment from $15,000 to $33,540. These changes aim to enhance funding for school safety measures across Texas.

The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage through both the Senate and House with unanimous support. The adjustments in funding are intended to provide school districts with greater resources to ensure the safety and security of students and staff within educational environments.
