This bill establishes two grant programs to develop and expand innovative learning models in schools. The first program provides up to $570 million annually from 2025 through 2034 to organizations called innovative learning model providers to create, test, and evaluate comprehensive educational approaches that combine instructional design, teaching practices, operational changes, and technology. The second program allocates $180 million annually from 2026 through 2035 to states and local school districts to adopt and implement these innovative models in their schools. The legislation requires the Institute for Education Sciences to conduct research on these models, track their effectiveness, identify federal policy barriers, and report annually to Congress. States must reserve at least 95 percent of their federal grants for local school districts, with priority given to schools needing improvement, and the bill includes safeguards ensuring states cannot be forced to adopt any specific learning model.
