The Preventing Sexual Abuse of K–12 Students Act of 2025 requires all states receiving federal education funds to establish policies ensuring schools develop codes of conduct addressing sexual abuse by school personnel and students, and that all school staff receive training on these codes, reporting requirements, Title IX protections, and sexual abuse prevention. The bill affects every public school district nationwide, as they must implement these policies and training programs. Funding comes from existing Department of Education grant programs, including grants for state assessments, student support and academic enrichment grants, and other education funding streams already appropriated. Schools have two years from the bill's enactment to implement these requirements. Additionally, the Secretary of Education must conduct a study within one year documenting the current incidence of sexual abuse in schools and submit recommendations to Congress on prevention strategies.
