Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

GovInfo bill text shows Rep. Melanie Stansbury introduced H.R. 9300 on June 11, 2026, and it was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. The bill would authorize Education Department grants for evidence-based programs to improve participation, retention, and completion rates for high-need students, with grant authorization for fiscal years 2027 through 2032.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official bill text proves Stansbury took concrete legislative action in the current Congress by sponsoring the Postsecondary Student Success Act. The record shows introduction and committee referral only, so the commitment is not fully enacted or permanently authorized as of the latest official action found; no newer material action surfaced in the Aug. 15-17 lookback search.

Rep. Stansbury's office announced the Postsecondary Student Success Act as legislation to authorize dedicated federal funding for evidence-based programs that help students stay enrolled, complete degrees, and prepare for careers. The release says the act would formally authorize the Postsecondary Student Success Grant program and lists retention and completion supports such as advising, tutoring, emergency aid, career coaching, and work-based learning.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The official statement confirms Stansbury's support and intent to authorize federal funding for evidence-based college retention and completion programs. It supports a partial outcome because it documents advocacy and bill introduction, while the bill still required congressional enactment.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. same_term A for effort

Stansbury materially supported the promise in the same federal House term by introducing H.R. 9300, the Postsecondary Student Success Act of 2026, which would authorize Education Department grants for evidence-based postsecondary retention, completion, and student support programs. However, the latest available official status shows introduction and referral to the House Committee on Education and Workforce, with no enactment or permanent authorization of the funding. Because this was a serious legislative attempt but the promised policy outcome has not been delivered, it is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
