Lets public schools get federal grants to make K-3 classes smaller.
This bill would create a new federal grant program. It would let local school districts apply for money to reduce class sizes in kindergarten through 3rd grade, aiming for no more than 18 students per class. This would primarily benefit students and teachers in public elementary schools that serve many low-income families.
Today, there isn't a specific federal grant program for reducing class sizes in early elementary grades. If this bill passes, the Secretary of Education would award competitive, 5-year grants to local school districts. These grants would help targeted public elementary schools reduce class sizes in kindergarten through 3rd grade to no more than 18 students per class. This would especially benefit schools serving many low-income families.
