2005 California Education Code Sections 35294.1 (Article 10.3. School Safety Plans)

35294.1.  (a) The governing board of a school district, on behalf of
one or more schools within the district that have developed a school
safety plan, may apply to the Superintendent of Public Instruction
for a grant to implement school safety plans.  A grant shall be
awarded only for school safety plans that include the following
criteria:
   (1) Assessment of the recent incidence of crime committed on the
school campus.
   (2) Identification of appropriate strategies and programs that
will provide or maintain a high level of school safety.
   (3) Development of an action plan, in conjunction with local law
enforcement agencies, for implementing appropriate safety strategies
and programs, and determining the fiscal impact of executing the
strategies and programs.  The action plan shall identify available
resources which will provide for implementation of the plan.
   (b) The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall award grants
pursuant to this section to school districts for the implementation
of individual school safety plans in an amount not to exceed fifteen
thousand dollars ($15,000) for each school.  No grant shall be made
unless the school district makes available, for purposes of
implementing the school safety plans, an amount of funds equal to the
amount of the grant.   Grants should be awarded through a
competitive process, based upon criteria including, but not limited
to, (1) the merit of the proposal and (2) the need for imposing
school safety, based on school crime rates.
   (c) Any school district receiving a grant under this section shall
report to the Superintendent of Public Instruction annually for
three consecutive years following the receipt of the grant concerning
the impact of the implementation of the school safety plan on the
incidence of crime on the campus of the school.
