Combating Implicit Bias in Education Act

HR 7844, the Combating Implicit Bias in Education Act, establishes a federal grant program to help schools address subconscious biases affecting students. The bill provides $10 million annually (2025-2027) for competitive grants to local school districts, requiring them to fund evidence-based training for educators on implicit bias related to race, religion, sex, disability, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. This training aims to reduce biased discipline practices (like suspensions), improve access to gifted programs, and ensure fair resource allocation. The program mandates an effectiveness review by the Institute of Education Sciences to evaluate outcomes.
