MDE; amend FY 2025 appropriation to revise purpose for a certain sum.

SB 2051 amends Mississippi's fiscal 2025 budget to redirect $1.4 million from the State Department of Education's (MDE) existing appropriation specifically for the continuation of the current school safety platform. This bill does not create new programs but ensures a designated sum remains available for ongoing school safety technology and services. The funding revision applies directly to MDE's budget allocation for school safety operations. The bill passed the legislature on May 28, 2025, but ultimately died in committee.
