Rebuild public schools' crumbling infrastructure so all kids have a safe and quality learning environment.
Occurrences
Ms. Omar is listed among the members introducing H.R. 7340, the Rebuild America's Schools Act of 2026, which would provide for the long-term improvement of public school facilities.
Evidence
H.R. 7340 was introduced in the House on February 4, 2026, as the Rebuild America’s Schools Act of 2026. The bill text states it is “to provide for the long-term improvement of public school facilities,” and the record shows Rep. Ilhan Omar among the bill’s sponsors.
The Congressional Record lists H.R. 7340, “A bill to provide for the long-term improvement of public school facilities,” and shows Rep. Ilhan Omar as an original member/sponsor in the introduction list on the House floor.
The bill text includes requirements for assessing the condition of school facilities, health and safety impacts on school staff and students, and accessibility for students and staff with disabilities, indicating the measure is aimed at rebuilding and improving public-school infrastructure.
The index entry lists “Dept. of Education: provide for long-term improvement of public school facilities (see H.R. 7340), H2029 [4FE],” tying Omar to the school-facilities legislation in the current session.
Assessments
Evidence shows Rep. Ilhan Omar sponsored or was an original sponsor of H.R. 7340, the Rebuild America’s Schools Act of 2026, a bill directly aligned with the promise to rebuild deteriorating public-school infrastructure and improve safety and quality. However, the record provided shows introduction and ongoing legislative activity only, not enactment or completed delivery of the promised outcome. Because she has clearly taken concrete legislative action in the current term but there is no evidence yet that the policy was passed or implemented, the promise is best judged unresolved at this time.
