Full Title: “To strengthen Federal data collection regarding the teacher and principal workforce.” The bill was introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.

A new 119th Congress bill matching the claim was introduced, showing continued legislative effort toward a federal educator-workforce data collection mechanism. It is still at introduction/referral stage.

The bill text states it is “To strengthen Federal data collection regarding the teacher and principal workforce,” and requires OCR to collect and publish educator workforce data for each local educational agency and public school.

This is the clearest concrete legislative vehicle for the claim. It proposed a federal mechanism collecting teacher and principal data at the district and school level, but it was only introduced in the House.

The member page lists Eric Sorensen’s 119th Congress activity and shows he remains active in the House; it also reflects his legislative record and cosponsorships.

NTPS is described as a nationally representative survey of K-12 schools, principals, and teachers, providing national and state-level trends on teacher retention and related topics.

NCES already operates a national teacher/principal survey, but this is not the same as a permanent district-level mechanism; it therefore does not establish delivery of the claim.
