(54,893 posts)45. looks like it may be true (here is a report from the Congressional Research Service from 2022)
The report:

On June 25, 2022, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act
(BSCA; P.L. 117-159) was signed into law. In addition to
provisions addressing mental health services, firearms, and
Medicare, the act requires the establishment of a Federal
Clearinghouse on School Safety Evidence-based Practices,
provides additional appropriations for several programs
authorized by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
(ESEA), and institutes a new ESEA prohibition related to
dangerous weapons. The new clearinghouse and ESEA
provisions are discussed below. For general information
about federal programs that support school safety and
security, see CRS Report R46872, Federal Support for
School Safety and Security.

New ESEA Prohibition Related to
Dangerous Weapons
Section 8526 of the ESEA includes general prohibitions on
the use of ESEA funds for specified purposes. The BSCA
adds a new prohibition to Section 8526 that states that no
ESEA funds may be used to provide anyone with a
dangerous weapon or to provide anyone with training in the
use of a dangerous weapon. The term dangerous weapon
has the meaning given to the term in 18 U.S.C. §930(g)(2):
The term dangerous weapon means a weapon,
device, instrument, material, or substance, animate or
inanimate, that is used for, or is readily capable of,
causing death or serious bodily injury, except that such
term does not include a pocket knife with a blade of
less than 2½ inches in length.
