Establishes "STEM Curriculum Grant Program" for certain school districts; makes appropriation.

Summary

The bill establishes a grant program, run by the Department of Education with the nonprofit Engaged Learning Strategies, to fund project‑based STEM learning for at‑risk pupils in grades 6‑8. It requires the commissioner to select at least two school districts that already have STEM programs, each serving a minimum of 60 low‑income students, and provides money for curriculum, staff training, and equipment. The goal is to improve academic outcomes and offer an accelerated track for students who are behind grade level.
