Safer Schools Act of 2025
Rep. Williams and Rep. Moskowitz Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Fund $1.2 Billion in School Security Upgrades

Legislative Progress
This bill has support from both Republicans and Democrats, which makes it much more likely to move forward. However, it still needs to pass through several committees and secure funding.
Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
The bill directly targets student safety by funding physical security upgrades at public schools, including stronger perimeters, better cameras, visitor management technology, and silent panic alarms linked to law enforcement. Schools that have already experienced mass violence events get priority, meaning the most at-risk student populations would see improvements first. Over 50 million public school students could eventually benefit if the program is fully funded and widely adopted.
