Schools Not Shelters Act: Banning Use of Educational Facilities for Migrant Housing.

This bill prevents public schools and universities from using their facilities as long-term shelters for individuals who have not been formally admitted into the United States. If an educational institution violates this rule, it will lose access to federal education funding. This measure aims to ensure that school facilities remain dedicated to educational purposes.
Key points
Public schools and universities will lose federal funding if they use their facilities to provide long-term housing for migrants who lack formal admission status.
The prohibition applies to long-term emergency housing ordered by government entities, but allows for short-term shelter (up to 72 hours) during specified natural disasters.
