Students need 21st century tools for 21st century learning.
Support strong public schools by taking these actions today.
The Rebuild America's Schools Act would create a $70 billion grant program and $30 billion tax-credit bond program that targets high-poverty schools whose facilities pose health and safety risks to students and staff.
Email your members of Congress and tell them to support the Rebuild America’s Schools Act.
The Reopen and Rebuild America’s Schools Act is part of the Moving Forward Act (H.R. 2), a broad bill that would fix our crumbling and broken infrastructure. Among other things, it would create a $100 billion grant program that targets high-poverty schools and a $30 billion tax-credit bond program for facilities that pose health and safety risks to students and staff. The bill would also provide $5 billion to help close the digital divide and equip students to go online. Nationwide, as many as 12 million students—1 in 5—are unable to do schoolwork at home due to lack of internet access.
Email your senators and tell them to support the Moving Forward Act.
