Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
The K-12 AI Literacy and Readiness Act of 2026 amends federal education law to allow schools to use existing education funding for artificial intelligence curriculum and teacher training. The bill permits both states and individual school districts to spend their education funds on teaching students about AI in safe and responsible ways, as well as on professional development to help teachers and school leaders learn how to use and teach AI effectively. This affects all public K-12 schools that receive federal education funding under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The legislation does not appropriate new funding but rather expands what schools can use their current federal education dollars for, making AI literacy a permissible use of those existing funds.
