S 1285 United States Senate · 118th Congress

School Shooting Safety and Preparedness Act

This bill requires the U.S. Department of Education to publish an annual report tracking school shootings across all schools (from early childhood programs to colleges). The report must include detailed data on each incident, such as the number of people killed or injured, shooter and victim demographics (age, race, gender), types of weapons used, and whether schools had safety measures like active shooter plans or communication protocols with law enforcement. It also mandates collecting historical data on past shootings and documenting school safety practices in place during each event. The data will cover all school types and include statistics on factors like student poverty levels, racial diversity, and gun storage practices.
