Annual Senate civics contest for students
If adopted, this resolution would direct the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration to set up a yearly civics competition for secondary school students. "Secondary school" would have the meaning given in section 8101 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. The Committee would be allowed to accept private donations and to work with public or nonprofit groups (for example, iCivics and the National Constitution Center) to design judging rubrics and support the contest. The Committee would have to write regulations needed to run the competition. The text in this section does not itself authorize a specific federal appropriation.
