AI Summary
This bill, the Keep Our Promise to America’s Children and Teachers Act (Keep Our PACT Act), aims to fully fund key federal education programs for fiscal years 2024 through 2033.
* **Title I Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act:** This bill appropriates increasing amounts for fiscal years 2024 through 2033 to support programs under Title I Part A, which addresses educational inequities. The specific amounts appropriated each year are the difference between the fiscal year 2023 appropriation for Title I Part A and a progressively higher target amount, or the full amount authorized, whichever is greater. For example, in fiscal year 2024, the appropriation is the difference between the fiscal year 2023 amount and $20,536,802,000. This continues up to fiscal year 2033, where the appropriation is $51,294,029,000 or the full authorized amount, whichever is greater. These funds are appropriated out of the U.S. Treasury.
* **Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA):** This bill amends Section 611(i) of IDEA to mandate increased funding for programs serving children with disabilities. For fiscal year 2024, $5,870,321,000 is appropriated, becoming available on July 1, 2024, and remaining available through September 30, 2025. This funding level increases significantly each fiscal year, reaching $55,526,635,000 for fiscal year 2033 and subsequent years. The appropriated amounts are tied to a percentage of the calculated national average per-pupil expenditure for students with disabilities. These funds are also appropriated out of the U.S. Treasury.
