Minnesota HF4799 establishes a grant program to help schools use video analytics software for safety.

Minnesota HF4799 establishes a voluntary grant program to assist schools in using video analytics software on existing camera infrastructure. The program prioritizes applicants who use existing systems, demonstrate a safety need, and plan for staff training and incident response. Grants can be used for early threat detection, real-time alerts, and reducing manual monitoring. Schools must comply with data privacy laws, and collected data can only be used for safety purposes. The Department of Education will report on grant recipients and outcomes annually.
