Arizona HB2498 establishes a school safety program to enhance safe learning environments through mental health services and law-related education.

HB2498 creates a school safety program within the Arizona Department of Education, focusing on safe learning environments. It supports program proposals for school-based mental health professionals, school resource officers, and juvenile probation officers. Proposals must detail school safety needs, implementation plans, and community resource relationships. The program includes law-related education to promote law-abiding behavior. Approved proposals receive funding, with unspent funds carried over to the next fiscal year. The program exempts appropriations from lapsing provisions.
