Amends TCA Title 9; Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13 and Title 49.
Tennessee SB0873 proposes nonrecurring appropriations of $20 million for local education agencies (LEAs) and public charter schools, and $4 million for non-public schools, specifically for school safety grants aimed at purchasing walk-through detectors and scanners. If schools already possess these security measures, the funds may be redirected toward other initiatives focused on preventing, reducing, and responding to school shootings. The bill expresses legislative intent for similar appropriations in the fiscal years 2026-2027 and 2027-2028.
