Combating the Lies of Authoritarians in School Systems Act

What this bill does

  • Schools receiving federal education funding cannot accept money or contracts from China or the Chinese Communist Party.
  • Public elementary and secondary schools are required to disclose all foreign funding sources to the Department of Education.
  • The restriction takes effect as a condition of receiving existing federal education funds with no new appropriations needed.

  1. 01

    How would schools identify and verify whether foreign funding sources are connected to the Chinese government, and what resources would the Department of Education provide to assist with compliance?

  2. 02

    What specific categories of foreign funding or partnerships would schools need to disclose, and could legitimate educational exchanges or research collaborations be inadvertently restricted?

  3. 03

    If schools lose federal funding due to undisclosed foreign sources, what alternatives exist for districts in low-income areas that depend heavily on federal education dollars?
