Sandra Day O'Connor Civic Learning Act of 2015

The Sandra Day O’Connor Civic Learning Act of 2015 proposes to replace the existing "We the People" civic education program with a new competitive grant system administered by the Department of Education. These grants would be awarded to nonprofit organizations to develop and implement educational programs focused on American history, geography, economics, and civic engagement. For students and teachers, this would mean increased access to updated instructional materials and professional development opportunities designed to improve how civics is taught in elementary and secondary schools.
