Key Points

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to work with the Department of Education to create a master plan for school safety. The goal is to better protect elementary and high schools from acts of terrorism.
The new strategy must list every federal program and all the money currently being spent on school security. This helps the government see where resources are going and if they are being used effectively.
Officials would have to identify specific safety weaknesses in schools across the country. They must then set clear goals for how to fix those problems and explain exactly what steps they will take to reach those goals.
To keep the plan current, the government would have to update it every year through 2033. This ensures that school safety measures change as new types of threats emerge over time.
