Seizure Awareness and Preparedness Act
This bill creates a federal grant program to support K-12 schools in preparing for students with epilepsy or seizure disorders. It provides $34.5 million (2026-2030) for states to fund local schools to train staff on seizure awareness, develop personalized emergency care plans, and ensure proper medical accommodations. Schools must train all staff every two years, provide bus drivers with student-specific care information, and create detailed health plans covering symptoms, activity accommodations, and communication protocols. The program supplements existing funding and protects school staff from liability for good-faith actions related to implementing these requirements.
