Transparency in Reporting of Adversarial Contributions to Education Act
This bill requires schools receiving federal education funds to disclose foreign funding sources to parents. It mandates that schools provide parents with access to curricular materials paid for with foreign funds (reviewed quarterly), information on staff compensated with foreign funds, and details about foreign donations, agreements, or financial transactions. Schools must post this information annually on public websites and notify parents at the start of each school year. The law applies to all elementary and secondary schools served by local educational agencies receiving federal education funds. It defines "foreign entity of concern" per existing law and focuses solely on transparency, not restricting foreign funding.
