IL SB2788

Establishes the School Resource Officer Grant Program through the State Board of Education, in consultation with the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board, to fund salaries and hiring costs for active law enforcement officers serving as school resource officers

Eligible entities include schools, school districts, and law enforcement agencies that have intergovernmental agreements to employ school resource officers

Grant funds must be equally distributed between all eligible entities participating in an intergovernmental agreement for a school resource officer

Amends the definition of "school resource officer" to specify the officer must be an "active" law enforcement officer

Program implementation is subject to appropriation, with the State Board authorized to adopt rules for grant distribution
