Protect Our Children's Schools Act

This bill redirects unused federal funds from three pandemic-era education relief packages (CARES Act, CRRSAA, and American Rescue Plan) to improve physical security at elementary and secondary schools. Local educational agencies (LEAs) that received these specific funds can now use the unobligated balances for security measures like fencing, surveillance, or access controls. It does not create new funding but reallocates existing resources already authorized under those prior laws. The bill directly affects schools that received pandemic education funding and were eligible to access those unspent balances.
