1. Short title This Act may be cited as the School Safety Clearinghouse Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Incidents of gun violence in schools have severe long-term effects on students and teachers, such as— (A) moderate to severe post-traumatic stress disorder; (B) depression; (C) violent behavior; and (D) lower proficiencies in math and reading. (2) According to the American Institute of Architects, most of the 132,853 public and private elementary and secondary schools in the United States are not designed to deter these violent acts. (3) Following the tragic 2018 school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission reported that the greatest vulnerabilities of the school existed because of voids in basic safety policies and strategies. (4) The final report of the Federal Commission on School Safety found that one of the biggest concerns raised by schools and school districts was the inability to sift through the multitude of safety options, equipment, technologies, and building designs that are available to improve the safety and design of their schools. (5) While there is no general approach to school safety, architects and engineers as well as other experts in the school security community have suggested the establishment of a Federal clearinghouse that could assess, identify, and share best practices on school building design and overall safety. 3.
