 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service
School Anti-Violence Empowerment Act - Authorizes the Secretary of Education to award competitive grants to local educational agencies (LEAs) for: (1) crisis intervention programs, including school counselors; and (2) school safety programs for students, staff, and school facilities.

Amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to extend through FY 2006 the authorization of appropriations for certain grant programs for Community Policing and "Cops on the Beat" (COPS program). Eliminates provisions for decreasing Federal matching funds and for terminating grant program authority (thus making the authority permanent).

Amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to extend the authorization of appropriations for after-school and life skills programs for at-risk youth.

Directs the Secretary to: (1) develop a model violence prevention program for LEAs; and (2) establish and maintain a national clearinghouse to provide LEAs with information on alternative violence prevention programs, and technical assistance to establish and operate them.
