Show full summary
- Schools and students would get individualized consultations, site assessments, help improving safety and mental health policies, and training and communications for staff, families, and youth.
- Rural, Tribal, and low-resourced communities and minority-serving institutions would get priority when grants are awarded to entities with local relationships.
- Eligible recipients include states, state and Tribal education agencies, eligible colleges, and Tribal colleges. The federal share could cover up to 95 percent of costs and the bill authorizes $25 million per year for 2026 through 2030.

Analyzed Economic Effects

Grants for state and tribal school safety centers
If enacted, the government would fund Regional School Safety Development Centers. The program would get $25 million each year from 2026 to 2030. Grants could pay up to 95% of costs, and awardees would cover at least 5%. Eligible applicants include States, State or Tribal education agencies, and certain colleges, including Tribal Colleges. The Director could prefer groups with ties to rural, Tribal, or low‑resourced schools, and to minority‑serving colleges.
How centers would help schools and families
If enacted, centers would give one‑on‑one help to schools to build or improve safety and student mental health plans. They would share clear guidance and train school staff and families. Centers would help schools find federal or state funding and apply for it. Funds could not be used to teach firearm use or to hire school staff or school‑based contractors. A Youth Advisory Council would start within one year, and the Director would report to Congress within two years and every year after. Civil rights and privacy laws would still apply, and other laws on firearms training would not be changed.
