Safe Schools and Communities Act of 2025

HR 4713, the Safe Schools and Communities Act of 2025, provides federal grants to school districts to fund training for staff who regularly interact with students. The bill requires grant recipients to cover training on human trafficking risk factors, fentanyl and drug abuse prevention, gang activity intervention strategies, and local community resources. Funds must also cover training costs (like instructor fees and materials) and implement specialized curricula in these areas. This directly affects elementary and secondary school personnel in districts receiving grants, with funding administered through the existing Elementary and Secondary Education Act framework.
