School Mapping Data Grant Program is sponsored by Florida Department of Education. This program provides funding for Florida's public and charter schools to obtain emergency response mapping data to assist local first responders.
The mapping data must be in an electronic or digital format, compatible with software platforms used by local, state, and federal public safety agencies without requiring additional software or fees to view or access the data. The legislation (HB 301) makes $14 million available for this purpose. School districts, in consultation with local law enforcement and public safety agencies, may apply for these funds.
