Right to Learn Act of 2026
To establish a grant program to support students, families, and school personnel impacted by immigration enforcement actions to ensure that schools remain safe, trauma-informed learning environments, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes to create a grant program to provide support to students, families, and school staff who are affected by immigration enforcement actions. The aim is to ensure that schools can continue to be safe and supportive learning environments for all students. The bill was introduced on July 22, 2026, and it was immediately referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce for further review.
The grants would target those who have been directly impacted by immigration actions, offering them assistance to cope with the trauma and other challenges they may face. This includes providing resources and support for mental health, legal aid, and other necessary services to help them navigate these difficult situations. By ensuring schools remain safe and supportive, the bill hopes to mitigate the adverse effects of immigration enforcement on students' education and well-being.
Currently, the bill is in its initial stages, having just been introduced and referred to the relevant committee. The next steps will involve committee review, potential amendments, and a vote to determine whether the bill moves forward in the legislative process.
