Schools would get new tools and data to improve safety and emergency response.
This bill would expand a federal program to help schools prevent and respond to emergencies, including school shootings. It would create new public education efforts, develop panic alarm technology, and launch a national data center for school safety information. The bill would also set strict new rules for emergency response maps bought with federal money.
Today, the Federal Clearinghouse on School Safety Evidence-based Practices exists but has fewer specific duties for public education, technology development, or data collection. After this bill, the Clearinghouse would be significantly expanded, with new mandates to create public education programs, develop panic alarm technology, and establish a National School Safety Data Center within one year. Also, starting in the government's budget year 2026, federal funds could not be used to buy emergency response maps unless they meet strict new digital, real-time, and data ownership requirements.
