School safety video analytics grant program establishment and appropriation

Summary

The bill directs the education commissioner to set up a grant program that helps public, charter, and nonpublic schools buy and use video‑analytics software on existing camera systems to improve safety. Grants can cover software, licensing, training and maintenance, but not new camera hardware except when needed for integration. The program includes privacy safeguards, reporting requirements, and mandates a minimum number of grants for schools inside and outside the seven‑county metro area.
