Creates a competitive demonstration grant program at the Department of Education to help public school districts and consortia hire more registered nurses for elementary and secondary schools. The program defines key terms (including eligible entities, high-need LEAs, nurse, acuity, and workload), sets application and priority rules, requires federal/nonfederal cost‑sharing with a hardship waiver, mandates a report to Congress within two years of the first awards, and authorizes funding as needed for fiscal years 2026–2030.
Referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
