HRES 445: Supporting the goals and ideals of the month of May as Sex Ed For All Month: Equity and Access for All.

HRES 445 is a non-binding resolution designating May as "Sex Ed For All Month" to promote comprehensive sex education.

The resolution emphasizes that inclusive sex education delays sexual activity, increases contraceptive use, and fosters healthy relationships, citing research on its benefits. As a symbolic statement, it does not create new laws or allocate funds but calls for action to ensure equitable access to medically accurate, culturally responsive education.

HR 2402: No Hungry Kids in Schools Act

HR 2402, the No Hungry Kids in Schools Act, creates a new option for states to implement a statewide program under the National School Lunch Act starting in 2025. States would cover costs from non-federal funds to allow all schools in the state to receive full federal reimbursement for meals served, eliminating income-based eligibility thresholds. Key provisions include setting the eligibility threshold to zero and calculating student eligibility statewide instead of by individual school district. This directly affects state education agencies (which must fund the program) and schools (which gain simplified access to full meal reimbursement), benefiting students in qualifying schools.

S 1225: Freedom of Association in Higher Education Act of 2025

This bill protects students in single-sex social organizations (like fraternities or sororities) at colleges receiving federal funds. It prohibits institutions from punishing students or these groups solely because they limit membership to one sex - such as denying financial aid, housing, or leadership roles, or forcing students to renounce membership rights. The law clarifies that colleges may still enforce rules for academic misconduct or safety risks unrelated to membership policies and are not required to recognize such organizations. It specifically aims to prevent retaliation while respecting existing Title IX protections and institutional authority.

S 1338: Ending PUSHOUT Act of 2025

The Ending PUSHOUT Act of 2025 aims to reduce discriminatory school discipline practices that disproportionately affect students of color, particularly girls of color, students with disabilities, and LGBTQI+ students. It requires schools to collect and report detailed demographic data on discipline actions like suspensions, expulsions, and law enforcement referrals, with specific breakdowns by race, gender, disability status, and other protected characteristics. The bill provides federal grants to schools to implement trauma-informed alternatives to suspension, prohibits out-of-school suspensions for young children for minor offenses like dress code violations, and establishes a task force focused on addressing the school pushout of girls of color. Schools receiving grants must train staff on implicit bias, cultural responsiveness, and restorative practices while improving access to mental health services. The legislation also restricts the use of corporal punishment, seclusion, and certain restraints, and prevents schools from using disciplinary policies that criminalize student behavior.

HR 7890: Science of Reading Act of 2026

The Science of Reading Act of 2026 amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to require states receiving federal literacy development grants to align their reading instruction with "science of reading" principles. It explicitly prohibits the use of the "three-cueing model" (a method teaching word recognition through pictures, context, or guessing) and defines science of reading as evidence-based instruction in phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, and comprehension. States must describe this alignment in grant applications, and federal funds for literacy programs will only support initiatives meeting these standards. This directly affects states and school districts administering ESEA-funded literacy programs starting in 2026.
