Public schools would need to report foreign money and contracts to keep federal aid

This bill would require public elementary and secondary schools to report any money or contracts they get from foreign sources. If a school receives more than $10,000 from a foreign source, or signs a contract over $10,000, it must tell the Department of Education within 30 days. This reporting would be a condition for schools to keep getting federal funding.

What Would Change

Today, public elementary and secondary schools do not have to report money or contracts they get from foreign sources, even if they also receive federal funding. If this bill becomes law, these schools would need to tell the U.S. Department of Education about any foreign funds or contracts over $10,000. This report would be due within 30 days. This reporting would be required for schools to keep getting federal financial assistance.
