H.R. 2151 — Seizure Awareness and Preparedness Act

This section establishes a grant program under Title IV of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to support students with epilepsy or seizure disorders. The Secretary of Education awards competitive grants to states, which in turn award subgrants to local educational agencies (LEAs) to fund training for school personnel on seizure awareness and preparedness—including development and implementation of individualized health care plans and individualized emergency health care plans—with required training coordinated by school nurses at least every two years using Department-approved courses from nonprofit organizations supporting individuals with epilepsy or seizure disorders. LEAs may also use subgrant funds for (1) training personnel to administer seizure medications; (2) educating students on seizure awareness; (3) recruiting, hiring, and retaining compliance staff; and (4) other Secretary-approved activities.
