This bill, titled the "Protecting Student Athletes from Concussions Act," aims to establish minimum State requirements for the prevention and treatment of concussions among students participating in school sports. States receiving funds under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 must enact legislation or regulations within five fiscal years to meet these standards, or face a reduction in federal funding. Key provisions require local educational agencies to develop and implement comprehensive concussion safety and management plans. These plans include educating students, parents, and school personnel on concussion safety, providing training, and disseminating critical information. They also mandate support for students recovering from concussions, offering academic accommodations, and evaluating eligibility for special education services if symptoms persist. Furthermore, the bill requires public schools to visibly post and make available online peer-reviewed information about concussions, including risks, symptoms, and appropriate actions. If a concussion is suspected, designated school personnel must immediately remove the student from athletic activity, and the student cannot return until a qualified health care professional provides a written release. The legislation also outlines protocols for a student's return to academics and return to athletics , emphasizing a gradual reintroduction of cognitive and physical demands. A multi-disciplinary concussion management team is tasked with recommending appropriate academic supports, such as cognitive rest and modified assignments, to aid student recovery.
