Evidence

Next Session: May 19th, 2026 at 12:00 PM

As of the refresh date, the House had not held new floor business in the lookback window and was not scheduled to meet again until May 19, 2026, so there is no fresh official sign in-window that this education-related promise was delivered, reversed, or resolved.

Bill Title & Description: Providing for consideration of the bills H.R. 7567, H.R. 2616, S. 1318, and H.R. 1346; and providing for consideration of the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 33

The House advanced consideration of H.R. 2616, the parental-consent school bill, which is concrete legislative movement in the direction of giving parents more control over children’s schooling. This is only partial support because it is procedural, not enactment, and it predates the lookback window.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The evidence shows concrete same-term legislative effort toward expanding parental control in education, including House procedural movement on H.R. 2616. However, the promise was to empower parents to play a leading role in directing their children's education, which would require an enacted federal policy or comparable completed outcome. The available record does not show enactment or implementation, only an attempted legislative path. Under the adjudication rule, a serious attempt that did not deliver the promised outcome is scored as never with an effort badge.
