HB 818 -- School Safety and Violence Prevention

Sponsor:  Aull

This bill creates the School Safety and School Violence
Prevention Fund and requires, beginning with Fiscal Year 2011 and
subject to appropriations, the General Assembly to appropriate to
the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education $1.5 million
for deposit into the fund.  The department must select an
existing agency or establish a new one to be the statewide center
for school safety and school violence prevention, which will
receive moneys from the fund.  The center will provide services
including, but not limited to, violence prevention and
intervention programs and models; guidance on building safety and
emergency plans; assistance in staff development on school
safety; publication of newsletters and maintenance of a web site;
annual training for school safety coordinators; acting as an
information clearinghouse; and collaboration with national,
state, and local agencies on school safety issues.  The center
will annually submit a budget to the department and a summary of
its services and programs to the General Assembly.
