(b) Hiring or contracting with security personnel who are licensed and regulated by the state and insured.

(c) Expenses relating to transportation to minimize security exposure of staff, parents, and students.

(d) Other nonhardening security measures, including, but not limited to, providing professional detection, prevention, and security services to such schools and preschools.
