School Safety: More Funds for Student and Staff Protection.

This act allows public and non-public schools to use existing federal funds for school safety improvements. This means schools can invest in better building security, crisis communication systems, and hire additional security personnel, aiming to enhance the safety of students and teachers.
Key points
Public and non-public schools can use unspent American Rescue Plan funds for school safety purposes.
Funds can be used for building reinforcements (e.g., bullet-resistant doors), access control systems, staff training, hiring security officers, and communication systems for parents and emergency services.
State authorities must inform schools about the option to amend spending plans and quickly approve safety-related applications.
