What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Alyssa's Legacy Youth in Schools Safety Alert Act," seeks to amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. It aims to require local educational agencies to ensure their schools are prepared for security emergencies. Specifically, it mandates that each elementary and secondary school be equipped with at least one panic alarm. These alarms are defined as silent security signals triggered manually to signal life-threatening situations. This requirement is established as a condition for receiving funds under the Act.
