To amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to provide for additional activities, resources, and data collection with respect to English learners, and for other purposes.
Key claim: This bill would expand the permitted uses of federal education subgrants to support English learners and immigrant students, including culturally competent educator training and enhanced reporting requirements.
Abstract
(HR3138 · 118th Congress) This bill addresses student learning and academic achievement of English learners and immigrant children and youth, including by allowing specified subgrants to be used for additional activities (e.g., providing educators with culturally competent training) and establishing additional reporting requirements. Latest action (2023-05-09): Referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
Why this matters
The proposal would give education subgrant recipients additional options for supporting English learners and immigrant students, including culturally competent educator training, while expanding data-collection and reporting requirements. It remains an introduced bill, so it does not yet change available grant uses or institutions’ reporting obligations.
