 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service
Authorizes the Secretary of Education to make competitive grants to State educational agencies (SEAs), and to specially designated local educational agencies (LEAs), to enable each public secondary school to employ a director to develop or improve a school safety plan.

Sets forth application requirements for: (1) SEAs, for grants; (2) LEAs other than specially designated ones, for subgrants; and (3) specially designated LEAs in States which do not apply for such grants, for direct grants.

Requires funds provided under this Act to be used only to hire an individual or entity as a director to develop or improve a public secondary school safety plan and implement security measures approved in the school safety plan.

Requires such a director to have the authority to: (1) discipline, in accordance with the school safety plan, any student whose actions or words threaten the safety of any student, teacher, employee, or administrator of the school; and (2) refer any student to the appropriate law enforcement authority, family and children services, or any other agency or organization the director considers appropriate to meet school safety plan requirements.

Amends the General Education Provisions Act to include, among those to whom certain educational records may be released without the written consent of students' parents, directors of school safety, discipline, and assistance in their developing and implementing school safety plans.
