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.
