AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would add school safety to the topics the President's National Security Strategy must cover. The strategy would have to describe the strategies and capabilities needed to keep elementary schools, secondary schools, and colleges in the United States safe and secure. The bill would also require the Secretary of Education and the Secretary of Homeland Security to assess threats to these schools, consulting with each state's governor. They would have to report the results to certain congressional committees and leaders within 180 days after the bill becomes law.
