H.R. 6440 · 115th Congress
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) and Trade in Schools 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 115th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Jul 19, 2018
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) and Trade in Schools Act
This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to specify that applicants who have expertise in career and technical education are eligible for Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) grants. (TEACH grants support teachers who have expertise in high-need subjects or teach in schools serving students from low-income families.)
In selecting teacher candidates for these grants, the Department of Education (ED) shall give priority to applicants who are members of a group that is underrepresented in teaching subjects related to science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), or computer science.
The bill amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to: (1) provide a specified funding level for the STEM master teacher corps program, and (2) require a STEM master teacher corps to establish and consult with a private-sector advisory board that meets specified requirements.
