Establishes a grant program for schools to conduct security assessments and make physical security improvements.
The Safer Schools Act of 2025 establishes a grant program to encourage public schools to conduct independent facility security risk assessments and make hard security improvements. The Attorney General will award grants for these assessments and improvements, prioritizing schools that have experienced deadly harm events. The grants require a federal share of up to 50% of the hard security improvement costs, with a waiver option for financial need. Schools must report on security assessments and improvements to the Attorney General.
