Introduced

Summary

Creates a national strategy to secure K–12 schools from terrorism.

Show full summary
  • School districts would get a single federal strategy that lists all school security programs and associated spending to help align local projects with federal support.
  • The Department of Homeland Security would lead the plan, deliver it within 1 year, and update it annually through 2033 or certify no changes.
  • The strategy must name specific terrorism-related vulnerabilities and actions to close them, and must build on past evaluations to avoid duplicating federal efforts.
