Rebuilding America’s Schools Act Reintroduced in Congress

US Representatives Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (D-VA) and Donald Norcross (D-NJ) reintroduced the Rebuild America’s Schools Act in July. The legislation would invest $100 billion in grants and $30 billion in bond authority targeted at fixing or rebuilding schools in high-poverty areas with facilities that pose direct health and safety risks to students and staff.

“The Rebuild America’s Schools Act invests $130 billion in our nation’s physical and digital infrastructure, improves students’ academic recovery efforts, and creates more than 2 million jobs over the next five years. It is far past time to improve public education infrastructure,” said Representative Scott.
