GovInfo lists H.R. 6576, the Full-Service Community School Expansion Act of 2023, as introduced on December 4, 2023 and referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce; Becca Balint is listed as a cosponsor.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This official 118th Congress record shows Balint supported the same community-school expansion legislation during her first House term. It is concrete support, but the record reflects introduction/referral rather than passage or nationwide achievement of 25,000 schools.

Assessments

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

Balint materially supported the promised policy by cosponsoring/backing Full-Service Community School Expansion Act legislation in the 118th Congress and again in the 119th Congress. However, the cited bills were introduced and referred to committee, with no evidence that federal funding was enacted or that the accelerated expansion reached a nationwide total of 25,000 community schools. Under the rubric, this is a serious legislative effort without delivery of the promised outcome.
