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. The changes aim to enhance funding for school safety measures, reflecting a commitment to improving the security and well-being of students and staff in Texas schools. The new provisions will take effect on September 1, 2025, following the legislative process that included unanimous support in both the Senate and House.
