Amends TCA Title 49 and Chapter 994 of the Public Acts of 2024.
Tennessee SB0695 amends existing legislation to transition the school safety alert grant pilot program into a full program, allowing local education agencies, public charter schools, private schools, and church-related schools to receive grants for mobile panic alert systems. The bill establishes a new school safety alert grant fund, requiring the Department of Education to administer the program until July 1, 2027, and mandates annual reporting on funds received and distributed. Key changes include the removal of the requirement for grant allocation to specific schools from each grand division of the state and the transfer of remaining funds from the pilot program to the new grant fund.
