Schools could soon get a safety infrastructure funding boost after the Senate on Sunday passed a bill that would provide districts $15,000 per campus for security upgrades and tighten auditing requirements.

While senators generally applauded the additional $328 million in school safety infrastructure spending, some lamented that there wasn’t money dedicated specifically for mental health programs.
