Education Funding Change: Allowing Federal Money for Weapons and Firearms Training.
This bill removes the federal prohibition that prevented Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) funds from being used for providing dangerous weapons or training in their use. The change grants schools greater flexibility, potentially allowing them to use federal education dollars to fund programs like hunting safety courses or marksmanship training. This directly impacts how federal education money can be spent at the local level.
Key points
Eliminates the federal ban on using education funds for weapons training programs.
Allows schools to potentially fund hunting and marksmanship courses using federal ESEA money.
