1. Within
  amounts appropriated for implementation of  extended  day  programs  and
  school   violence   prevention  programs,  the  commissioner  is  hereby
  authorized and directed to award grants on a competitive basis to school
  districts. Such grants shall  be  for  one  or  more  of  the  following
  pursuant to this section: school safety and violence prevention programs
  consistent  with  the  purposes  of  the school safety plans required by
  section twenty-eight hundred one-a of  this  article  and  extended  day
  activities defined in this section. School districts shall be prohibited
  from  using  funds  awarded  pursuant to this section to displace school
  district after-school funding in existence as of the effective  date  of
  this article.
    a. School safety activities. Programs eligible for funding pursuant to
  this  section  may  include,  but  not be limited to: (i) safe corridors
  programs; (ii) diversity programs;  (iii)  collaborative  school  safety
  programs with law enforcement agencies or community-based organizations;
  (iv)  metal  detectors,  intercom  and  other intra-school communication
  devices and other devices to increase school security and the safety  of
  school   personnel   and   students;   (v)   other   programs  including
  comprehensive  school-based  intervention  models,   approved   by   the
  commissioner,   that   reduce   violence   and  improve  school  safety.
  Comprehensive school based intervention models shall coordinate with and
  collaborate with other services currently being provided in  the  school
  district,   incorporate   appropriate  school  violence  prevention  and
  intervention services, and coordinate  appropriate  funding  sources  to
  ensure   the   efficient   delivery   of  services.  Such  comprehensive
  school-based intervention models shall also include provisions  for  the
  involvement   of   teachers,   parents,  school  administrators  in  the
  development and implementation of  the  program,  a  detailed  statement
  identifying   specific  performance  goals,  a  proposed  timetable  for
  implementation and achievement of such  goals  and  specific  assessment
  methods which will be used to measure student and school progress.
    b. Extended day activities. (i) Eligible extended day activities under
  this  paragraph  shall  be  for  programs  conducted outside the regular
  school  day  whereby  students  can  participate  in  extra   curricular
  enrichment  activities  including but not limited to athletics, academic
  enrichment, art, music, drama, academic tutoring,  mentoring,  community
  services and related programs that will increase student achievement and
  contribute  to  school  violence  prevention.  Such activities conducted
  outside the regular school day shall be offered collaboratively  between
  not-for-profit educational organizations, community based organizations,
  other  agencies  approved  by  the commissioner and public elementary or
  secondary schools, and where applicable, school districts.
    (ii) Grantees receiving  funding  pursuant  to  this  subdivision  may
  expend  no  more  than  five percent of grants for administration and no
  more than five percent for grantee training.
    2. In the event the appropriation for the purposes of this section  in
  any year is insufficient to pay all claims pursuant to this subdivision,
  the  commissioner  shall  pay  such claims on a prorated basis among all
  districts filing such claims until the appropriation is exhausted.
    3. Programs supported by grants pursuant to this section shall not  be
  eligible aid pursuant to any other provision of this chapter.
