S 4822 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Transparency in Reporting of Adversarial Contributions to Education Act

This bill requires public schools receiving federal education funds to disclose foreign funding sources to parents. It mandates that schools provide parents with access to review foreign-funded curriculum materials (every four weeks upon request), disclose staff paid with foreign funds, and share details about donations, agreements, or financial transactions with foreign governments or "entities of concern" (as defined in another law). Schools must post annual summaries of these rights on public websites and notify parents of their access rights at the start of each school year. The law directly affects parents of students in participating elementary and secondary schools, focusing on transparency around foreign influence in education.
