Grant program to fund safety improvements at schools established, report required, and money appropriated.
This bill creates a grant program in Minnesota to fund safety improvements at public and private schools, including day care centers. The program allows schools to apply for money to upgrade physical safety features like bullet-resistant doors, remote lock-down systems, and emergency communication tools. A state safety center will manage the grants and maintain a list of approved vendors to ensure quality installations. Public schools can only use bond proceeds for major building improvements, while other entities may access funds for both capital and non-capital safety projects. The bill also requires schools to submit detailed applications explaining their safety needs and project costs.
