Tennessee SB0470 establishes a grant program to provide portable walk-through metal detectors to local education agencies in distressed or at-risk.
Tennessee SB0470 amends state law to create a pilot program for awarding grants to local education agencies (LEAs) in distressed or at-risk counties to purchase portable walk-through metal detectors. The Department of Education will establish this program by July 1, 2025. LEAs can apply for grants to cover the full cost of obtaining, installing, and training personnel on the use of these detectors. The bill specifies that detectors must meet certain criteria, including an IP54 ingress protection rating, a rechargeable battery for continuous operation, and a modular design for portability.
