Stronger Schools Act

HR 5668, the Stronger Schools Act, requires elementary and secondary schools to implement specific security measures using federal grants. It directs the Secretary of Education to provide competitive grants to local school districts to fund two key security upgrades: hiring armed school resource officers and creating secure entry points with locked anterooms and metal detectors for all visitors. These measures apply directly to all schools served by participating local educational agencies. The bill mandates that grant funds be used exclusively for these security provisions, with a report to Congress due within one year of enactment.
