Bill overview
This bill, the Kids in Classes Act, aims to ensure that federal education funds, specifically Title I funds, are directly provided to parents or guardians of students in public elementary or secondary schools experiencing prolonged school closures. The bill requires states to allocate these funds directly to families to cover educational expenses like tutoring, materials, and private school tuition when in-person instruction is unavailable for more than three days due to public health emergencies or collective bargaining. It’s designed to mitigate the disproportionate learning loss experienced by disadvantaged students during school closures and to address educational inequality.
