Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require the United States and the States to jointly ensure a high-quality education to all persons within the United States.
This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment requiring the United States federal government, individual states, Indian tribes, and territories to work together to guarantee all people within the United States receive a high-quality education. The amendment would affect students of all ages across the country by establishing education as a constitutionally protected right enforceable through federal and state action. Congress would be granted authority to pass laws implementing and enforcing this educational guarantee. The proposed amendment would need to be ratified by legislatures in three-fourths of the states within seven years of submission to become part of the Constitution. The resolution contains no specific funding amounts or implementation timelines beyond the seven-year ratification deadline.
