## Summary

**Expands K–12 computer science education by establishing a federal grant program to bring CS from prekindergarten through high school.** The program funds teacher training, curriculum and online materials, equity efforts for underrepresented students, and preparation for artificial intelligence and other evolving technologies. - Students and families: Ensures every high school student served has access to computer science within five years and requires a prekindergarten through middle school progression that prepares students for high school CS. It targets access gaps for minorities, girls, and students from low-income families. - Teachers: Requires training for elementary and secondary teachers to teach computer science and allows grants to support recruitment and hiring of instructional staff. - Schools and districts: Makes States, local educational agencies, and eligible Tribal schools eligible for grants that can run up to five years and limits equipment purchases to 15 percent of a grant. Grantees must plan for sustaining activities after the grant period. - Federal reporting and coordination: Authorizes up to 2.5 percent of funds for national activities like technical assistance and evaluation, requires twice-yearly grantee reports disaggregated by race, ethnicity, gender, and free or reduced-price lunch status, and directs the Secretary to submit an analysis and recommendations to Congress within five years. *The bill authorizes $250 million to be appropriated for fiscal year 2026 and the succeeding four fiscal years to carry out the program.*

## Provisions PRIA read

- $250 million for school computer science grants: benefit, high. The bill would authorize $250 million for this program for fiscal year 2026 and the next four years. The Education Department would award the money through competitive grants to States, districts, and eligible Tribal schools. Households would benefit only if their local school or district receives…
- Grants to expand K–12 computer science: benefit, medium. The Education Department would run competitive grants for States, school districts, and eligible Tribal schools. Awards could last up to five years. Applicants would need plans so every high school student they serve can take computer science within five years. They must build a pre-K through middl…
- More federal data on computer science in schools: benefit, low. Federal researchers would add data on whether schools offer computer science and how skilled students are. The Education Department would also publish information by type of computer science and by State, district, and eligible Tribal school. If enacted, this would give policymakers better facts to…
- How schools could use computer science grants: mixed, medium. If a school gets a grant, it would need to train teachers, expand high-quality materials and online options, and plan to close equity gaps. It could build partnerships with industry and colleges, hire staff, share best practices, and use AI in class. No more than 15% of each grant could be spent on…
- Reporting, evaluation, and national support: mixed, low. Grantees would have to report at least twice a year, with student counts broken out by race, ethnicity, gender, and free or reduced-price lunch status. The Secretary could reserve up to 2.5% of funds for national technical help, evaluation, and sharing what works. No later than five years after the…
