Public schools would get new emergency plans and stronger doors to keep students safe.
Public schools receiving federal funds would be required to create emergency plans and quickly notify parents during threats. The bill would also lead to new rules for stronger doors in federally funded schools to boost safety.
Today, there are no federal rules specifically requiring local school districts to have detailed emergency plans with parental notification for a defined list of threats, nor is there a federal process for mandating reinforced school doors. If this bill becomes law, local school districts receiving federal funds would be required to develop and carry out emergency response procedures and ensure parents are quickly informed during emergencies. It would also lead to new federal rules for installing or upgrading reinforced doors in federally funded elementary and secondary schools, backed by an authorized $100,000,000 annually for ten years to help with costs.
