What it does
The Every Student is a Citizen Act would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to expand American history and civics education by authorizing $40 million annually for related activities and broadening the scope of allowable programs to include hands-on civic engagement, media literacy, voter registration support, service learning, and educational travel. It affects public schools and students by integrating these activities into before-school, during-school, and after-school programs, as well as well-rounded educational opportunities. The bill also makes conforming changes to funding provisions and updates references to ensure consistency across the statute.
