Supporting After-School STEM Educators Act

This bill would have the Secretary of Labor award 5-year grants, generally no more than one per state, to intermediary organizations that support after-school, summer, and other out-of-school time programs. The intermediaries would give competitive subgrants to up to 25 nonprofit program providers to pay for STEM professional development for their educators, including coaching, substitute staff, and travel costs. Intermediaries would also create a statewide database of training opportunities and peer networks for these educators. Program providers and intermediaries would have to submit annual and final reports, and the bill authorizes such sums as necessary to fund the program.
