The Stronger Schools Act would authorize the Secretary of Education to award competitive grants to local school districts for physical improvements aimed at enhancing school security. School districts receiving grants would be required to hire armed school resource officers and install single points of entry with locked anterooms and metal detectors at all elementary and secondary schools they operate. The bill affects every public school district in the country that chooses to apply for and accept these grants, though the legislation does not specify the total funding amount or timeline for when grants would be distributed. Within one year of the bill's enactment, the Secretary of Education would need to report to Congress on how the grant program is being implemented. The bill was introduced in the House in September 2025 and referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce for consideration.
