Minnesota SF4906 establishes a grant program to help schools use video analytics for safety.

Minnesota SF4906 creates a grant program to assist schools in using video analytics software for safety. The program aims to enhance early threat detection, monitor unauthorized access, and reduce manual monitoring burdens. Schools can use grants for software acquisition, implementation, and training. Participation is voluntary, and schools must comply with data privacy laws. The commissioner must award grants to public and nonpublic schools in the seven-county metropolitan area, prioritizing those that utilize existing camera infrastructure and demonstrate a documented safety need.
