Anonymous threat reporting system grants to schools provision and appropriation

This bill authorizes funding for schools in Minnesota to create anonymous systems where students and staff can report threats without revealing their identities. The state will provide grants to school districts, charter schools, and tribal schools, requiring recipients to contribute at least half of the project costs from their own funds. The money can be used to set up, run, and maintain these reporting tools, as well as to pay staff who respond to the threats received. To ensure fair distribution, the program must award grants to schools across all geographic regions, with at least half going to areas outside the major metropolitan area. Additionally, the bill requires annual reports detailing how the grant money was awarded and spent by each school.
