The bill would create a competitive grant program for states to fund local school districts’ seizure awareness and preparedness programs. Required training would cover students’ health care plans and emergency plans. School staff would be trained at least every two years, and bus drivers transporting students with epilepsy or seizure disorders would receive information and training. The bill also allows funds for medication training and student education.
If your state and school district receive funding, school staff may receive training on how to support students with epilepsy or seizure disorders. The bill also provides for health care plans developed with families, health care providers, and school nurses. It does not require every state or district to receive a grant.
The bill authorizes $34.5 million for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. This is an authorization for appropriations, not a statement that the funds have been provided.
