UNPLUGGED Schools Grant Act of 2025

Summary

Creates a new "UNPLUGGED Schools Grants" authority in Title IV of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to add a grant program (and updates the Act’s table of contents to show the new item). The public excerpt only shows that the grant authority is added; it does not include the grant program’s text, funding levels, eligibility rules, administering agency, timelines, or an effective date. Because the bill excerpt only amends the statute’s table of contents and indicates insertion of the new grant provision, many operational details (who can apply, how much money, and when grants would begin) are not specified in the provided materials.

Key Points

• Adds a new "UNPLUGGED Schools Grants" provision to Title IV of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and updates the Act’s table of contents.
• The excerpt supplied only shows the amendment action; it does not include the text of the new grant provision itself.
• No funding amounts, administering agency, eligibility rules, deadlines, or effective date are specified in the available file.
• The amendment creates legal authorization for a grant program but additional steps (funding and implementation actions) are needed to make awards.
• Primary likely beneficiaries would be K–12 schools, students, and educators if the program follows typical Title IV grant structures.
• Because operational details are missing, states, districts, and schools cannot yet determine how to apply or budget for program participation.
• The change is a statutory insertion (authorization) rather than an appropriation or immediate funding action.
• Uncertainty about program design means timelines and impacts depend on later administrative or legislative actions.
