S 5044 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Keeping Drugs Out of Schools Act of 2024

This bill creates a federal grant program to support community coalitions working with schools to prevent drug use among students. It authorizes $7 million annually (2025-2030) for grants up to $75,000 per year to community coalitions that already receive federal drug prevention funding and have formal partnerships with local schools. Grantees must use funds to implement tailored prevention programs for students, supplementing rather than replacing existing funding, and must follow specific reporting requirements. The program directly affects community coalitions and schools in partnership, aiming to reduce substance use through coordinated local efforts.
