Schools would get new federal help to create safety and mental health plans.
A new bill would set up regional centers to help schools across the country develop and carry out plans for safety and student mental health. These centers would offer expert advice and training, especially to schools in rural or low-income areas, to make schools safer for students and staff.
Today, there's no federal program under the Homeland Security Act to create regional centers that give schools tailored advice on safety plans. If this bill passes, the government would authorize $25 million to be appropriated annually from the government's budget year 2026 through 2030 to fund regional centers. This is about 7 cents per American annually. These centers would help schools develop and carry out individualized safety and mental health plans.
