Schools could get federal grants to boost diversity and reduce isolation.
This bill would create a new federal grant program called the Strength in Diversity Program. It would help publicly-funded early childhood, elementary, and secondary schools develop plans to increase racial and socioeconomic diversity. The goal is to address racial isolation and concentrated poverty, potentially improving student outcomes.
Currently, there is no dedicated federal program offering competitive grants to help schools increase racial and socioeconomic diversity to address racial isolation or concentrated poverty. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Education would establish the 'Strength in Diversity Program.' This program would award competitive planning and implementation grants to eligible school districts and other educational groups. These grants would help them develop and carry out plans to improve diversity. They would also help reduce racial or socioeconomic isolation in publicly-funded early childhood, public elementary, and public secondary schools.
