Require schools to install a secure master key box as prescribed, provide powers and duties to the state school security director, change provisions relating to a grant program for security-related infrastructure projects and the School Safety and Security Fund, and provide for a transfer from the Cash Reserve Fund

LB 685 requires all Nebraska public, private, denominational, and parochial schools to install an exterior secure key box meeting Underwriters Laboratories Standard 1037 at each school building for emergency law enforcement access. It creates a State School Security Director with new duties, including overseeing key box installations, assessing school security, and identifying deficiencies. The bill also establishes a grant program funded by the School Safety and Security Fund to help schools purchase security infrastructure like key boxes, surveillance systems, and secure doors. These changes apply directly to all approved or accredited schools in Nebraska, with $10 million intended for the grant program.
