To direct the Secretary of Education to conduct a study on the efforts of States, local educational agencies, and public elementary and secondary schools to educate students about the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and for other purposes.

This bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Education, working with the head of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, to study how states, school districts, and public K-12 schools teach students about the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The study would begin within 180 days of the law taking effect and would cover all states plus representative samples of school districts and schools. It would look at whether 9/11 education is required or optional, state standards, teacher training, teaching methods, instructional materials, and how student learning is assessed. The Secretary would then report the results to Congress within 180 days after the study ends or 3 years after enactment, whichever comes first.
