States would need to keep funding school resource officers to get full federal education money.

This bill would require states to maintain their funding for school resource officer programs in elementary and secondary schools. If states reduce this funding below a certain level, they would lose a proportional amount of federal education money.

What Would Change

Today, federal law does not require states to keep a specific amount of funding for school resource officer programs. After this bill, states would need to maintain their school resource officer funding at certain historical levels to receive their full federal education funds, or face proportional cuts to that funding.

Key Provisions

Requires states to maintain funding for school resource officer programs in elementary and secondary schools.
Ties full federal education funding to states keeping their school resource officer funding at a set historical level.
Reduces federal education money for states that cut school resource officer funding without an approved exception.
Lets the Secretary of Education grant exceptions for states facing major financial hardships like economic downturns or natural disasters.
Requires states to publicly report yearly on their school resource officer funding and the number of officers in schools.
