The bill, S.B. No. 260, amends the Education Code to increase the school safety allotment under the Foundation School Program. Specifically, it raises the annual allotment for each student in average daily attendance from $10 to $20 and increases the per campus allotment from $15,000 to $30,000. These changes aim to enhance funding for school safety measures across Texas school districts.

The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing school districts to benefit from the increased funding for safety initiatives in the upcoming school year. The adjustments in the allotment amounts reflect a commitment to improving the safety and security of students and staff in Texas schools.
