Bill overview
The ELEVATE Act amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to ensure that children who have relocated from Puerto Rico to the United States are fully considered English language learners for the purpose of receiving federal grant funding. This means these students will be eligible for the same level of support and resources as other English language learners through programs like the English Language Acquisition grants. The bill clarifies the definition of ‘English learner’ to specifically include migrants from Puerto Rico, improving access to crucial educational assistance. It also makes adjustments to related sections of the law to reflect this change.
