Creates a grant program to help students and school staff affected by immigration actions.
This bill would create a new federal grant program to help students, families, and school staff deal with the effects of immigration enforcement actions. It would set aside money for schools and other groups to offer mental health support, emergency aid, and training for staff. This aims to ensure schools remain safe and supportive places for learning.
Today, there is no specific federal grant program to help schools and other groups support students, families, and school staff affected by immigration enforcement actions. If this bill becomes law, it would create a new competitive grant program, setting aside $250,000,000 each year from the government's budget year 2027 through 2031. This money would fund services like mental health support, emergency aid, legal help, and staff training in communities impacted by immigration enforcement.
