Education Guarantee and National Civic Experience Amendment

Proposed Amendment Text
Published: April 26, 2025

Section 1.

The right of every citizen of the United States to a free, public elementary and secondary education shall not be abridged or denied by the United States or by any State.

Section 2.

To secure this right, the Congress shall impose a uniform tax of two and one-quarter percent (2.25%) designated exclusively for the funding of public elementary and secondary education and national civic education initiatives.

Section 3.

The revenue collected under Section 2 shall be distributed directly to local school districts based on the number of enrolled students in each district. The distribution shall occur without diversion to non-educational purposes.

Section 4.

Each student shall be guaranteed minimum annual funding equivalent to two and one-quarter percent of sixty-five thousand dollars ($1,462.50 per student). If a local district's share of the revenue collected is insufficient to meet this standard, the United States shall provide supplemental funding to ensure compliance.

Section 5.

In addition to regular educational expenses, the United States shall fully fund a national civic education experience, wherein each public school shall organize, at minimum once per student, a field trip to the nation's capital. This trip shall occur during the student's first year of secondary education and include guided educational visits to the monuments, memorials, museums, and institutions fundamental to the history and governance of the United States.

Section 6.

Local educational agencies shall retain primary control over the administration of public education within their jurisdictions, subject only to minimal federal requirements necessary to uphold the rights protected under this Article.

Section 7.

The Governor of each State shall determine whether the tax authorized by Section 2 shall be assessed as a tax on individual income, commercial sales, or business commerce within that State. The method selected shall yield the equivalent funding required under this Article and shall be binding unless changed by subsequent gubernatorial action.
