The "Right to Learn Act of 2026" establishes a competitive grant program, administered by the Secretary of Education, to provide emergency resources to eligible entities. Its primary purpose is to support students, families, and school personnel impacted by immigration enforcement actions, ensuring schools remain safe and trauma-informed learning environments. The bill affirms the constitutional right to free public education for all children, regardless of immigration status, and seeks to reduce negative impacts like absenteeism and academic decline stemming from enforcement-related trauma. Grant funds can be used for various purposes, including student-focused stabilization services such as hiring bilingual counselors, providing emergency assistance, and offering mental health support. Funds also support school personnel-focused services , including mental health support for staff and professional development on trauma-informed practices, legal rights, and culturally responsive care. Additionally, the program encourages community collaboration and family engagement , facilitating partnerships with legal service providers for "Know Your Rights" services and deportation defense. Priority for grants will be given to entities serving communities with high rates of immigration enforcement actions or large populations of "specified individuals," or those with established community partnerships. The bill includes significant protections, prohibiting the collection or disclosure of personally identifiable immigration or citizenship status information for service denial or program administration, except under specific legal requirements. It also explicitly states that services cannot be denied or limited based on the actual or perceived immigration status of students, family members, or school personnel. Eligible entities must certify compliance with federal privacy and civil rights laws. The Act authorizes an appropriation of $250,000,000 annually for fiscal years 2027 through 2031 to carry out these provisions.
