Every Student is a Citizen Act

This bill changes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to fund American history and civics education programs. It provides $40,000,000 each fiscal year for these programs, instead of drawing the money from a portion of another education fund set aside by the Secretary of Education. It lists activities that national civics grants may support before, during, or after school, such as mock elections, lessons on the Constitution, service projects, trips to government and historical sites, media literacy programs, and support for voter registration. It also adds the same list of activities to the civics and government education that schools may fund under an existing grant program for well-rounded education.
