The bill would direct the Secretary of Education to create a grant program within 180 days of enactment. States, including federally recognized Indian Tribes, could apply for grants to help pay for suicide prevention software for elementary and secondary schools. The software must be able to alert school staff when a student types words or phrases related to self-harm or suicide on a school-provided device.
If enacted, states could apply for grants to help schools pay for the described software. The bill does not specify how schools would use alerts after receiving them.
The bill does not state a grant amount or total funding for the program.
