H.R. 882 was titled the American Teacher Act and was introduced to provide grants supporting state efforts to increase teacher salaries. The text states the purpose was to ensure full-time teachers at qualifying public schools earn not less than $60,000, adjusted for inflation, and set the school year 2024-2025 base minimum salary amount at $60,000.

The bill text matches the promise: it sought a $60,000 minimum teacher salary through federal grants under the American Teacher Act.
