The Florida Department of Education’s budget proposal for the upcoming fiscal year, which began July 1, includes $100 million in mental-health spending. 

The state agency’s budget request contains an additional $1.4 million to install school resource officers in each Florida public school. “It wasn’t easy — quite an amazing feat — but I would like to thankfully report that, at the conclusion of last week, every single public school in the state of Florida, including charter schools, have coverage from school safety officers of some type as allowed by state law,” Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran stated during a meeting to approve the budget, says a news report.
