The bill amends Section 48.115 of the Education Code to increase the annual school safety allotment provided to school districts under the Foundation School Program. Specifically, it raises the allotment from $10 to $14 for each student in average daily attendance and increases the per campus allotment from $15,000 to $37,000. These changes aim to enhance funding for school safety measures.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement for school districts to submit an annual report to the agency by December 1, detailing the expenditure of funds received under this section. This provision is intended to ensure accountability and transparency in the use of allocated safety funds. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
