Creates a program that funds statewide or regional centers to help schools design and carry out individualized school safety and student mental health plans. Eligible entities can receive grants or enter cooperative agreements to stand up or strengthen these centers, which will provide training and technical assistance to school districts.
The program is run by a Director who sets application rules and preferences, hires experts, and establishes a Youth Advisory Council. Grantees must report results, and the Director must report to Congress. Funding is authorized at $25,000,000 per year for fiscal years 2026–2030, with limits on how funds can be used and clear definitions of key terms and eligible entities.
