PolicyRecognizing Homeschool GraduatesThis federal bill makes sure that students who are homeschooled get official recognition when they finish their education. This makes it easier for them to apply to colleges and get jobs, just like students from other schools.

PolicyInvesting in Public SchoolsThis federal bill would send more money to public schools so they can buy better supplies, support teachers, and fix up school buildings. This could mean better classrooms for you and your family.

PolicyMaking National Holiday and Patriotic Rules Easy to FindThis law organized all the rules about national holidays, special ceremonies, and patriotic groups into one clear section of federal law. It made these important rules much easier for everyone to find and understand without changing what they actually say.
