Education - Safe Schools Fund - Grant Allocations

SB 136 modifies Maryland's Safe Schools Fund grant rules to allow unused funds to be reallocated within the same fiscal year to local school systems that have fully spent their initial allocation but still have unmet safety needs. It specifically permits the reallocation of funds to schools demonstrating ongoing requirements, rather than letting unused grants expire. The bill amends existing law to clarify that grant allocations may be redirected to these schools while maintaining the annual $10 million funding level. This change ensures more flexible use of resources for school safety without requiring new budget appropriations.
