To amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to authorize the Secretary of Education to award grants to State educational agencies to carry out wellness programs for school personnel, and for other purposes.
Key claim: HR8676 proposes amending the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to authorize the Secretary of Education to award grants to state educational agencies for wellness programs targeting school personnel.
Abstract
(HR8676 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-05-07): Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
Why this matters
Federal proposals to extend ESEA grant authorities to school-personnel wellness signal growing legislative attention to K-12 workforce well-being as an educational-quality lever. If enacted, State educational agencies would gain a new discretionary funding channel, with downstream implications for staff retention and, indirectly, student outcomes.
