(1) Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district to establish a security department or a school police department and authorizes specified moneys transferred into the general fund of any school district to be used for the training of persons employed and compensated as members of a police department of a school district, as specified. This bill would establish the School Marshal Plan and would authorize school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools to use general purpose funds to provide training to a school marshal.
