| 1 | | on page 3, by replacing lines 13 through 19 with the following: | 2 | | " State Board of Education in awarding the funds shall be (i) | 3 | | the arrest rates in the target schools over the preceding 3 | 4 | | years, which shall be calculated as the number of arrests | 5 | | divided by the number of students; (ii) the ratio of | 6 | | school-based law enforcement personnel to students in the | 7 | | target schools over the preceding 3 years; and (iii) the degree | 8 | | to which the proposal articulates a strong, comprehensive | 9 | | approach for eliminating unnecessary school-based arrests and | 10 | | the over-reliance on school-based law enforcement to address | 11 | | school disciplinary matters while building safer and healthier | 12 | | learning environments. | 13 | | For factor (i), applicant school districts shall be ranked | 14 | | from highest arrest rates to lowest, with higher arrest rates | 15 | | receiving priority. For factor (ii), applicant school | 16 | | districts shall be ranked from the highest ratio of | 17 | | school-based law enforcement to students to the lowest ratio, | 18 | | with the higher ratios receiving priority. For factor (iii), | 19 | | applicant school districts shall be ranked on the basis of the | 20 | | strength of their overall strategy, with all school districts | 21 | | that fail to articulate a sound approach being excluded from | 22 | | consideration. The State Board of Education shall determine a | 23 | | scoring system for each factor based on the relative ranking of | 24 | | the applicant school districts. Applicant school districts' | 25 | | overall cumulative scores shall be based on the following |

If the appropriated funds are insufficient to provide | 3 | | matching funds to all selected grantees, the funds shall be | 4 | | awarded to the qualified applicant school districts on a | 5 | | proportionate basis, based on the number of students within the | 6 | | school districts to be affected by the grants, unless the | 7 | | resulting allocation to qualified applicants would be less than | 8 | | 25% of some or all school districts' proposed reallocation | 9 | | amounts. In that event, funds shall be awarded on a | 10 | | proportionate basis to school districts in the order of their | 11 | | respective scores, with the highest-scoring school district | 12 | | receiving top priority, up until the point at which the | 13 | | resulting allocations would be less than 25% of some or all | 14 | | selected school districts' proposed reallocation amounts. If | 15 | | the appropriated funds exceed what is required to provide | 16 | | dollar-for-dollar matching funds to all qualified applicants, | 17 | | the surplus shall be rolled over to be used for grants the | 18 | | following year.

The detention of | 14 | | students for these purposes shall be limited to situations in | 15 | | which there is imminent danger of serious physical harm to a | 16 | | member of the school community, and the duration of the | 17 | | detention shall be limited to the greatest extent | 18 | | practicable.
