Schools would get grants to train staff and teach students about safety issues like drug abuse and human trafficking.
This bill would create a new federal grant program for local school districts. These grants would help schools train their staff and teach students about serious issues like human trafficking, fentanyl and drug abuse, and gang prevention. The goal is to make schools and communities safer for students and staff.
Today, federal education funds under Section 4103(a)(3) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 are mainly for technical assistance. There is no specific federal grant program under this section for training school staff or implementing programs on human trafficking, fentanyl and drug abuse prevention, or gang prevention. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Education would offer competitive grants to local school districts for these specific safety trainings and programs. It would also expand the authorized uses of funds under Section 4103(a)(3) to include these grants.
