K–12 AI Literacy and Readiness Act of 2026
A bill to amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to include certain curriculum expenses as permissible use of funds, and for other purposes.
This bill aims to change the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 by allowing schools to use certain funds for specific curriculum expenses. These expenses would include items like textbooks, technology, and other educational materials. The bill is intended to help schools better support students by providing necessary resources.
The bill would primarily affect schools and educational institutions by giving them more flexibility in how they spend certain funds. This could help ensure that students have access to the materials they need to succeed in their studies. The bill's impact would be felt most directly by school administrators and educators who would benefit from the increased resources.
The bill was introduced on August 4, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions for further review. At this stage, the bill is being considered and will likely undergo several more steps before it can be voted on by the full Senate. There have been no significant actions or changes since its introduction.
