In an effort to correct this widespread issue and prevent students from losing critical learning time, U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) is urging Congress to pass his bicameral Rebuild America’s Schools Act (S.3777) which would surge federal investments to fix-up facilities and replace crumbling school infrastructure while creating better learning environments for the nation’s students.

AI summary (separate from source): The latest official update found near the lookback describes the Rebuild America’s Schools Act as still awaiting congressional passage, which supports unresolved rather than delivered status while documenting continued effort.

The promised outcome was specific: a $100 billion investment in public school renovation and construction that would create 1.9 million jobs through the Rebuild America's Schools Act. The evidence provided does not show enactment, implementation, or later delivery of that proposal, either during Scott's committee leadership period or afterward. Given the named bill and Scott's federal legislative role, this appears to reflect a serious legislative push, but the promised outcome itself was not achieved, so this is best scored as a failed delivery with effort credit rather than partial or delivered.
