What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Charting My Path for Future Success Act," directs the Secretary of Education to reissue a solicitation and award a specific contract. This contract relates to the "Charting My Path for Future Success" project. The project aims to help families and high schools support students with disabilities. It does this by training educators to help these students set goals, develop action plans, and reflect on their progress. The bill requires this action to take place within 90 days of enactment. Additionally, it prevents the contract from being canceled without approval from Congress.
