The bill aims to expand the Federal Clearinghouse on School Safety Evidence-based Practices, including public education efforts and panic alarm technology. It addresses rural assistance, establishes a National School Safety Data Center, and mandates an annual report. It designates a Director for the Clearinghouse and involves the United States Secret Service, maintaining an external advisory board. It prohibits Federal funds from procuring inadequate emergency response maps, requiring the Secretary to devise a strategy for their distribution. The bill also mandates reports on the establishment and effectiveness of master plans for school shooting prevention and response, while defining terms and clarifying its scope without granting additional rulemaking authority.
