Saving Students with Software Act

The Saving Students with Software Act would create a new federal grant program within the Department of Education to help states pay for suicide prevention software used in elementary and secondary schools. States can apply for grants to cover part of the cost of software installed on school devices that can alert staff if a student types words or phrases related to self-harm or suicide. The program must be established within 180 days of enactment. The bill defines key terms (elementary and secondary schools, state, suicide prevention software) and sets the basic framework for how states would participate, but it does not specify funding levels or detailed grant requirements in the text provided.
