Grant Program to Combat Implicit Bias in Schools

This act establishes a grant program for elementary and secondary schools to train educators and staff on implicit bias. The goal is to reduce discrimination, improve school climate, and enhance student achievement, potentially leading to fairer treatment for all children in education.
Key points
Schools can apply for funds to train teachers and staff to better understand and address implicit biases.
Training aims to prevent discrimination in areas like disciplinary actions (suspensions, expulsions), access to gifted programs, and allocation of academic resources.
The program seeks to improve relationships between students and school staff, fostering better academic outcomes for all students.
10 million dollars annually are authorized for the program from fiscal years 2022 through 2024.
