Seizure Safe Schools Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill requires the Department of Education to work with health officials to create new safety rules for schools. These rules will help teachers and staff know how to handle seizures and care for students with epilepsy.
• Schools would receive specific instructions on how to include seizure care in a student's legal learning plans. This ensures that students with medical needs get the right support and accommodations to stay safe while they are in class.
• If this becomes law, the government must release these safety guidelines within six months. The goal is to create a consistent standard for how schools across the country protect children who have seizure disorders.
