This bill amends the existing American History and Civics Education program, established under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. The primary purpose is to enhance the quality and scope of civics education for both teachers and students in elementary and secondary schools. Specifically, the legislation mandates that programs funded under this act must include hands-on civic engagement activities for teachers and students. It also requires the implementation of programs designed to educate students about the history and principles of the Constitution of the United States , with a particular focus on the Bill of Rights. Additionally, the bill updates the criteria for these educational programs, emphasizing their potential to improve student achievement and teaching, demonstrate innovation and scalability, ensure accountability, and effectively serve underserved populations.
