Transparency in Reporting of Adversarial Contributions to Education Act
Introduced Feb 6, 2025 by Rep. Aaron Bean
The House passed it. The Senate has to pass it before it can reach the President.
This bill requires each local educational agency (LEA), as a condition of receiving federal elementary and secondary education funds, to ensure that each elementary and secondary school served by the LEA notifies parents of their rights to request and receive information regarding foreign influence (e.g., influence by China) in schools.
These rights include the right to
review (and make copies of at no cost) any curricular or professional development material used at the school that was obtained using funds received from a foreign government or a foreign entity of concern;
know, by written response, how many school personnel are compensated using funds received from a foreign government or a foreign entity of concern; and
