The Strengthening Our Schools Act of 2025 increases federal funding for school resource officers—police officers stationed in schools—by amending a decades-old crime control law. The bill raises the annual funding level from approximately $1.047 billion to $1.097 billion and extends the authorization through fiscal years 2026 to 2035, ensuring consistent support over the next decade. Within this funding, at least $50 million per year must be reserved specifically for grants to local governments and law enforcement agencies to support school resource officer programs. The bill directly affects schools across the country, local police departments, and school districts that employ or contract with officers for campus safety.
