Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
The Enhancing K–12 Cybersecurity Act directs the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to establish programs and resources to help elementary schools, secondary schools, and school districts improve their cybersecurity defenses. The bill creates three main initiatives: a publicly accessible website called the School Cybersecurity Information Exchange that shares best practices and helps schools find federal and recommended tools, a voluntary registry to track cyber incidents affecting schools for analysis and prevention, and a K–12 Cybersecurity Technology Improvement Program that deploys customized cybersecurity strategies, tools, and training to schools. The Director of the agency must consult with federal officials, state and local leaders, teachers, parents, and cybersecurity experts in implementing these programs. The legislation authorizes $10 million in funding for each of fiscal years 2027 and 2028 to carry out these efforts.
