National Strategy for School Security Act of 2025

# National Strategy for School Security Act of 2025 – Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This proposed legislation would direct the federal government to develop and implement a comprehensive national strategy focused on improving security measures in schools across the United States. Rather than imposing specific requirements, the bill would establish a coordinated federal approach to school safety that could include recommendations, guidelines, and resources for states and local school districts to implement. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily affect public and private K-12 schools, school administrators, and state/local education officials who would use the strategy to guide their security planning. It could also impact families with school-age children and security professionals working in educational settings. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill (S 3472) is in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate.

It was introduced by Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) during the 119th Congress. Since it remains in the early stages of the legislative process, significant changes could still be made before any vote occurs.
