Today, Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC) announced that he will sponsor H.R. 1635: STOP II: Classrooms Over Conference Rooms Act. The bill adds $100 million to the STOP School Violence Act, which funds grant programs to help local schools afford the resources necessary to protect and defend students and teachers.

The bill was originally introduced by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC).

Rep. Budd said in a statement:

"Every school in North Carolina and across the country should have all the resources they need to keep our students and teachers safe. The right way to do that is to boost funding for competitive grant programs that help schools afford what they need to harden themselves from outside threats. I'd like to thank my friend Rep. Hudson for introducing this bill, and I hope it will be considered in the weeks ahead."
