Grants to schools for law enforcement entry devices; cancelling unused portion of an appropriation; appropriating money

SF 3426 allocates $1,810,000 in one-time state funding to provide grants for law enforcement emergency entry devices at Minnesota schools. The bill directly affects public school districts, charter schools, and cooperative school units by allowing them to apply for up to $1,000 per school building to install secure exterior master key boxes meeting Underwriters Laboratories Standard 1037. Schools must update their safety plans to include these devices, and the Department of Education will prioritize funding for all applicants before using a lottery for remaining funds. Unused 2018 school safety grant funds are canceled to redirect resources toward this specific security measure. The appropriation expires June 30, 2026.
