SRO Funding Protection Act of 2024

This bill requires state education agencies to maintain their previous year's funding level for school resource officer (SRO) programs in public elementary and secondary schools to continue receiving federal education funds. It directly affects states that receive federal education funding under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. States must annually report SRO funding amounts and officer counts, and may request a waiver only for extraordinary financial circumstances. Failure to maintain funding without a waiver results in proportional reductions to their next year's federal education funding.
