S 1191 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Enhancing K–12 Cybersecurity Act

This bill establishes a federal program to strengthen cybersecurity for K-12 schools. It creates a publicly accessible School Cybersecurity Information Exchange website to share best practices, tools, and funding opportunities for schools and school districts. The bill also sets up a voluntary cyber incident registry (with privacy protections) and a K-12 Cybersecurity Technology Improvement Program to deploy tools, training, and ransomware prevention resources. Funded at $10 million annually for 2023-2024, it directly affects elementary schools, secondary schools, and educational agencies by providing concrete resources to address cybersecurity threats.
