## Summary

**Creates a federally coordinated national strategy to secure elementary and secondary schools from terrorism.** It would require the Department of Homeland Security, working with the Department of Education and other agencies, to map federal programs and spending, identify vulnerabilities, set goals, and describe actions to protect K–12 schools, with annual updates through 2033. - Families and students would get a single, written federal plan that identifies terrorism-related vulnerabilities in K–12 schools and sets goals to reduce those risks. - Schools and local districts would see an inventory of federal programs, activities, authorities, and associated spending that support school security, plus described steps to streamline and improve those efforts. - Federal agencies would need to coordinate on actions and report the plan to specified congressional committees within one year and provide annual updates or a certification through 2033.
