S.B. No. 260 amends the Education Code to increase the annual school safety allotment provided to school districts under the Foundation School Program. Specifically, the bill raises the allotment from $10 to $28 for each student in average daily attendance and increases the campus allotment from $15,000 to $30,000. These changes aim to enhance funding for school safety measures across Texas.

The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing school districts to benefit from the increased funding in the upcoming school year. The adjustments in the allotment amounts reflect a commitment to improving safety resources in schools, ensuring that districts have adequate financial support to implement necessary safety protocols and measures.
