FY25 School Security Grants
Governor Kemp, with the support of the General Assembly, has provided $108,905,000 for school security grants in the FY2025 budget (HB 916). The funds will provide $47,124 to 2,311 schools, 24 GNETS programs, and three state schools to address school security needs including but not limited to school resource officers, safety infrastructure, safety training, the development of school safety plans, mental health supports, and other options.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, data-driven framework proven to reduce disciplinary incidents, increase a school’s sense of safety and support improved academic outcomes.More information about PBIS can be found here: PBIS.
School Climate
We recognize that students learn best in schools with positive climates, where people are engaged and respected. Simply put, if a child is not physically and mentally in attendance, learning cannot take place. To learn more about the importance of school climate and evidence-based solutions (e.g. PBIS) to improve climate please visit: School Climate.
