Preventing Sexual Abuse of K–12 Students Act of 2023
This bill requires all public K-12 schools to implement mandatory training for staff on preventing sexual abuse, developing clear rules for appropriate staff-student and student-student relationships, and understanding reporting requirements under Title IX. It directs existing federal education funds to support these programs, with states needing to establish statewide policies by 2025 (two years after enactment). The training covers identifying abuse risks, legal obligations, and prevention strategies. The bill also mandates a federal report within one year of enactment to track abuse incidents and recommend further prevention measures.
