Classroom Safety Act of 1992

Summary

Classroom Safety Act of 1992 - Authorizes the Secretary of Education to make grants to assist local educational agencies (LEAs) most directly affected by crime and violence in reducing and preventing violent crime in elementary and secondary schools. Directs the Secretary to develop a model for classroom safety written in English and Spanish and make it available to any LEA upon request. Requires the grants to be used for programs of: (1) anticrime and safety measures, and education and training to prevent crime, violence and illegal use of drugs and alcohol; (2) counseling for victims and witnesses of crime in schools; (3) conflict resolution and peer mediation counseling for students, teachers, and other personnel in regular contact with students in school; (4) purchasing crime prevention equipment, including metal detectors and video-surveillance devices; and (5) preventing and reducing student participation in organized crime and drug and gang-related activities in schools. Requires grant applications to include comprehensive plans. Sets administrative cost limits. Allows renewal of the grant for up to two additional years after the initial grant, under certain conditions. Bases selection of recipients upon crime problem, need and ability, and student population (and equitable geographic distribution, if practicable). Requires annual reports by LEA grant recipients to the Secretary, and by the Secretary to the Congress. Authorizes appropriations.
