Relating to funding for projects that improve the physical and mental health of public school students and enhance the safety of public schools in this state; authorizing a fee.

HB 2377 creates a new "State School Health and Safety Fund" to provide grants for public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools. The fund will use excess money from the Foundation School Program to reimburse schools for student health expenses (like counseling or medical services) and approved safety plan costs. Grants are capped at $10 million per school district annually and $500 million total statewide each year, with proportional reductions if demand exceeds the cap. This bill directly affects all Texas public schools seeking funding for health and safety improvements.
