Referred to the Subcommittee on Emergency Management and Technology.
The bill requires local educational agencies that receive federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act funds to develop emergency response procedures and timely parental notification for specified threats and emergencies. It directs CISA to convene an advisory rulemaking committee to develop standards and produce a final rule requiring installation or modification of reinforced interior and exterior school doors, and authorizes an additional $100 million annually for ten years through the State Homeland Security Grant Program to implement that requirement.
Federal rulemaking versus local control of school facilities
