Such grants shall be distributed directly to such agencies and used to improve security through one or more of the following: employment of additional school resource officers not already employed by the agency; entering into a contract or a memorandum of understanding with a local law enforcement agency, private entity, or nonprofit corporation for the services of school resource officers; increasing coordination with local law enforcement; and purchasing equipment, technology, or infrastructure improvements to control access to school campus, buildings, and classrooms, expedite notification of first responders, or stop weapons from entering a school building.
