Stronger Schools Act

This bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Education to give competitive grants to local school districts for physical changes at elementary and secondary schools. Districts receiving a grant would have to use the money so that each of their schools hires a school resource officer who carries a firearm. Each school would also have to set up a single point of entry with a locked anteroom, where the officer inspects all guests before they enter the rest of the school, and which has metal detectors. The Secretary would have to report to Congress on the program within one year of the law taking effect.
