HJRES 208 United States House · 119th Congress

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require the United States and the States to jointly ensure a high-quality education to all persons within the United States.

This bill proposes adding a new clause to the U.S. Constitution that mandates the federal government, states, Indian Tribes, and territories to work together to guarantee high-quality education for every person in the country. The amendment would give Congress the authority to pass laws necessary to enforce and carry out this educational requirement. If approved by three-fourths of the states, it would create a permanent constitutional obligation for all levels of government to ensure access to quality schooling.
