Back to School

Is Your child’s school building clean, dry, quiet, and ready for learning?  Support Rebuild America’s Schools Act of 2017 (HR 2475).

The Rebuild America’s Schools Act would invest $100 billion to create over 1.9 million jobs by addressing critical physical and digital infrastructure needs in schools. Upon enactment, this bill would: · Create a $70 billion grant program and $30 billion tax credit bond program targeted at high-poverty schools with facilities that pose health and safety risks to students and staff. · Leverage federal, state, and local resources for an overall investment of $107 billion, creating over 1.9 million jobs based on an Economic Policy Institute analysis that each $1 billion spent on construction creates 17,785 jobs. · Develop a comprehensive national database on the condition of public school facilities; such a national database currently does not exist and would provide much-needed insight into the condition of our public schools. · Expand access to high-speed broadband to ensure that public schools have the reliable and high-speed Internet access they need for digital learning.
