Enhancing K–12 Cybersecurity Act
To direct the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to establish a School Cybersecurity Improvement Program, and for other purposes.
HB9918 aims to establish a School Cybersecurity Improvement Program by directing the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The bill seeks to enhance the cybersecurity measures in schools to protect against digital threats. This initiative would benefit students, teachers, and administrators by ensuring a safer learning environment.
The program would likely involve training, resources, and support for schools to better protect their networks and data. This would help prevent cyber attacks and safeguard personal information. The bill’s impact would be felt most directly by school districts, IT staff, and students, as they adopt better cybersecurity practices.
HB9918 was introduced on July 23, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and the Committee on Education and Workforce. The bill is currently under review, and no further action has been taken yet. Sponsors include Doris Matsui (Democrat) and Zachary Nunn (Republican).
