Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
Under current statute, Safe Schools funding is subject to annual appropriation by the Legislature with no required minimum level of appropriation. The proposed legislation does not revise that section of the statute. Therefore, there is no additional cost to the state under the proposed legislation. The proposed legislation clarifies which entities are eligible for Safe Schools funding, when appropriated, and how those funds are to be prioritized and distributed to those entities.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
There is no cost to the State under this proposed legislation.
The proposed legislation does not change the mechanism by which the safety and security needs of public schools are assessed annually or how the Legislature is to appropriate funding to address those needs. However, the proposed legislation does clarify that public charter schools are eligible to receive funds appropriated to the Safe Schools Fund. Furthermore, the proposed legislation will require that distributions from the Safe Schools Fund be based upon need and prioritizes appropriations to first address full compliance with the special education video requirements and then safe school entry ways. The proposed legislation will also require the West Virginia Board of Education promulgate rules to establish a process by which public schools may submit requests for distributions from the Safe Schools Fund.
