Barry Moore introduces bill to strengthen school safety, create jobs for veterans | 2022-08-08 | 2022 | 2022-08 | Republican | House | AL | Barry Moore | M001212 | barrymoore.house.gov | barrymoore | https://barrymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. — Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) today introduced the Securing American Classrooms Act of 2022 which would use some of the $1 billion in unspent COVID relief funds to provide grant funding for partnerships between schools and local law enforcement agencies to increase school safety and provide jobs for veterans. “Instead of tolerating the same old, same old Washington status quo and letting unspent COVID funding sit unused in our treasury, my bill puts that money to use creating jobs for veterans in law enforcement and helping secure our schools,” said Moore. “The Democrat plan to defund the police and take guns away from law-abiding citizens trying to protect themselves is counterproductive and dangerous, and we can better protect our schoolchildren by giving schools the resources to increase security measures and encourage strong partnerships between schools and law enforcement.” The Securing American Classrooms Act of 2022 Uses $1,000,000,000 in funds currently sitting in our treasury for grants to increase school safety Creates a stronger partnership link between schools and local law enforcement agencies Ensures that at least one veteran is hired as a school resource officer to receive grant funding | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |
