Federal Legislative Initiatives 

Named after the mascot of Marjory Stoneman Douglas, the Eagles Act would provide additional funding to the National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC, a part of the Secret Service) to train school professionals and law enforcement personnel on how to identify and help students in crisis.

Stand with Parkland believes well trained and selected school resource officers (SROs) are an important part of school communities and school safety. The SoS Act provides funding to hire SROs for school communities that want them.

There is a critical shortage of trained mental health providers for our students. This law would creates grants for doctoral students pursuing mental health degrees who commit to working in schools upon graduation.

Standard doors are a key vulnerability in schools when it comes to targeted violence. This law would require an expert panel to
make recommendations on the installation, modification, investment, and implementation of bullet-proof school doors.

Model after Stand with Parkland's successful Parents Need to Know initiative in Florida, this law would require schools to develop emergency response and parental notification procedures
for certain threats and emergencies.
