Maddy summaryS 2036 allows New York school districts to receive state building aid for specific school safety equipment, including stationary metal detectors, security cameras, and safety devices for room dividers or doors. The bill requires districts to include these projects in their approved school safety plans and specifies that aid equals 10% extra on top of the standard building aid ratio, calculated based on actual approved spending. It explicitly excludes portable metal detectors and ensures the aid doesn’t replace existing safety funding or contractual obligations. This change directly affects school districts seeking state financial support for permanent safety infrastructure improvements.
