This bill authorizes the Secretary of Education to establish a grant program for local educational agencies (LEAs). These grants are designed to reimburse LEAs for costs, including attorneys' fees and court costs, incurred when they defend their determinations not to discontinue the use of specific instructional materials or the availability of school library materials. Such costs arise from appeals or challenges by parents or other persons who disagree with the LEA's decision to keep materials accessible to students. Each eligible LEA can receive up to $100,000 per determination, provided these costs are not covered by other sources. The bill authorizes a total of $15,000,000 for appropriations across fiscal years 2027 through 2031. Importantly, the grant award process must be based on content-neutral and viewpoint-neutral criteria , ensuring that the subject matter of the challenged materials does not influence the allocation of funds.
