US SB1571

Authorizes the Attorney General to award grants to local educational agencies and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations to operate after school programs for students in grades 6-12 in counties where at least 10% of violent offenses are committed by individuals age 19 or younger

Grant funding is distributed by formula based on the number of eligible students each applicant will serve relative to total students served by all grant recipients

After school programs must be held when school is out of session and include educational activities that expand learning opportunities, foster foundational skill development, provide youth leadership opportunities, and create a safe and supportive environment

Grant recipients must submit annual reports to the Attorney General detailing schools served, number of children served, and program successes and vulnerabilities; the Attorney General must then report to Congress within 90 days

Authorizes $15,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029, to remain available until expended
