What it does
The bill creates a grant program for schools. Schools can get federal money to help students who survived sexual assault or violence. Schools can use the money for tutoring, mental health help, and teacher training. Schools can also pay for support to help students return to school. The program gives more money to two-year schools. It also gives more money to schools that serve students of color. Schools that broke Title IX rules get more money too.
Who it affects
Students who survived sexual assault or violence get help with schoolwork and mental health. Schools get grants to pay for these services.
One thing to notice
Schools that broke Title IX rules get more funding. This may push them to help hurt students better. The bill requires schools to report how many hurt students graduate. It also requires schools to report how many come back. This will show if trauma-informed support works.
