U.S. House of Representatives leaders introduced the bi-partisan Full-Service Community Schools Act.
IEL’s Coalition for Community Schools and its nearly 200 partners applauded the leadership of House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL) for their bipartisan introduction of the Full-Service Community Schools Act of 2014 (H.R. 5016) in the House in a press release issued last week.
Hoyer has been a longstanding champion for community schools, having introduced this bill in every congressional session since 2005. Schock has seen first-hand the positive impact of the three full-service community schools in his district in Peoria, Illinois.
