An Act Establishing a Comprehensive School-Based Program for the Prevention of Gun Violence and Other Forms of Serious Violence Among Learners and Students, and for Other Purposes

In plain language

The Safe Schools Act of 2026 would create a nationwide program, run by the Department of Education and the Commission on Higher Education, to prevent gun violence in all schools and colleges. It calls for counseling, reporting hotlines, CCTV, metal‑detector screening, safety handbooks and regular training, and it funds these measures from existing education budgets.
