S. 1686 · 112th Congress
Education for Tomorrow's Jobs Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 112th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Education for Tomorrow's Jobs Act - Amends part A of title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to require local educational agencies receiving subgrants under part A to describe how they will establish and carry out a school improvement program, including how they will:
- create a network of schools or programs of study that integrate a rigorous curriculum emphasizing college and career readiness, and wraparound support services;

- demonstrate their capacity to implement and sustain their program;

- provide school staff and other stakeholders with high-quality training and technical assistance;
- facilitate student transitions from secondary schools that do not award diplomas to secondary schools that do, and from the latter to postsecondary education;
- enable their program through policies that may include budgeting, governance, curriculum, and scheduling autonomies;
- place students, when possible, in a school or program of study that the student or their parents choose;
- ensure that students are able to fully participate in their school or program of study and are not placed in a school or program of study on the basis of their prior academic achievement or status as a poor, minority, disabled, or limited English proficient student; and
- arrange for an ongoing and rigorous evaluation of their program, and disseminate best practices.
