LOUISVILLE, Ky. — An agreement could be close on a bill that would start a grant program to help Indiana school districts hire police officers and buy safety equipment.

The sponsor of the bill, Sen. Pete Miller of Avon, says a new board on school safety would not just send money along to school districts, but would work with them to improve school security.
