Evidence

Representative Dusty Johnson announced South Dakota’s 2026 Congressional App Challenge, describing it as a competition designed to encourage student participation in computer science and coding.

Recent education-related outreach, but it concerns coding participation rather than literacy or math achievement.

Johnson said he worked with Chairman Thompson to finalize the Farm Bill, which includes the CAREERS Act to strengthen workforce development and career education programs, plus reauthorizations for the New Beginnings for Tribal Students Program and other tribal education-related provisions.

This is the strongest recent official sign of education-policy activity, but it is indirect and does not specifically show delivered gains in literacy or math achievement.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Johnson has taken some same-term education-related actions, including supporting Farm Bill provisions tied to career education, workforce development, and tribal student programs, and promoting student coding participation through the Congressional App Challenge. However, the cited record does not show a delivered federal outcome specifically improving literacy or math achievement, nor does it show direct work with educators and families on those achievement areas. This supports partial credit for related education-policy effort, not full delivery of the promised literacy and math outcome.
