The bill would create a National Center for Advanced Development in Education within the Institute of Education Sciences. The center would support research and projects on teaching, learning, education technology, student assessments, and ways to address gaps in student opportunity and achievement. It would share findings with education professionals and families and evaluate projects it supports.
The bill would also revise grants for state education data systems. These systems could connect information from early childhood education through college, adult education, and workforce programs, subject to privacy and data security rules. The bill calls for public access to useful data insights while protecting individual information.
Education agencies could apply for grants to build or improve state data systems. Students, families, educators, researchers, and the public could have access to information produced by those systems, with privacy protections. The proposed center would share research and practices with educators and caregivers.
The bill would authorize $500 million per year for the education center for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. It would authorize $500 million for state data system grants in fiscal year 2026 and at least that amount for each later fiscal year. These are authorized amounts; the text does not state how much would ultimately be appropriated or spent.
