Bill > HR5567

This bill, the Combating the Lies of Authoritarians in School Systems Act (CLASS Act), requires public elementary and secondary schools to disclose any foreign funding or contracts they have received in excess of $10,000. Specifically, the schools must identify the foreign source, the amount of funds received, any terms or conditions, and the details of any foreign contracts. This disclosure is a condition for receiving federal financial assistance. The bill defines key terms such as "applicable program," "elementary school," "secondary school," "federal financial assistance," and "foreign source." The purpose is to increase transparency around foreign influence in U.S. schools.
