Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Monday proposed giving public schools a one-time additional $50 million to spend on school safety, but his plan falls short of the increased counseling resources school officials want after four people were shot and killed at Apalachee High School in Winder in September.
The $50 million would be added to the current state budget atop $109 million in continuing funding that schools are already receiving. That money was placed in the continuing budget beginning July 1, the first time Georgia's public schools have gotten ongoing funding instead of one-time safety grants.
