IMPROVE Safety for Schools Act

This bill directs the U.S. Secret Service to give guidance to local school districts that receive federal funds on preparing a notice telling parents about buying and using gun safety devices, and requires those districts to send the notice to every parent. It creates a federal tax credit for people with a qualifying child or dependent equal to 75 percent of what they pay for a serial-numbered gun storage or safety device, up to $300 per year, reduced at higher incomes and ending for devices bought after 2030. It bars the IRS from sharing information about this credit with other federal agencies or compiling lists that identify taxpayers. It also allows federal school funds to support de-escalation training and school safety specialists, requires states to provide free remote mental health services to expelled students whose families cannot afford them, allows justice grants to fund standardized school resource officer training, and requires the SchoolSafety.gov site to expand to more social media platforms.
