An Act establishing the Massachusetts school safety data grant program

This bill establishes the Massachusetts School Safety Data Grant Program within the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. It provides grants to municipal, county, regional, or state law enforcement agencies to develop standardized, verified school mapping data for all public and private K-12 schools (including charter and special education schools) across Massachusetts. The data must include detailed floor plans, aerial imagery, and labeled emergency resources (like defibrillators and hazard locations), verified through on-site inspections, and designed to work with existing public safety software without additional costs. The program requires the data to be permanently accessible to schools and public safety agencies at no ongoing cost beyond initial production.
