Charting My Path for Future Success Act
The Charting My Path for Future Success Act would require the Secretary of Education to reissue the solicitation and award the contract for the Charting My Path for Future Success project, treating it as if no contract had previously been awarded. The project, funded under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) at 20 U.S.C. 1464(e)(1), aims to train educators to help students with disabilities set school- and life goals, develop and implement action plans, and monitor progress with adjustments as needed. As of January 2025, the project had trained 61 educators who were assisting about 1,600 high school students across 62 high schools in 13 local educational agencies. The bill also prohibits canceling the contract without Congressional approval. The Secretary must act within 90 days of enactment. In short, the bill would restart the procurement for this project, potentially allowing new bidders to participate, while keeping congressional oversight limits on terminating the contract.
