Charting My Path for Future Success Act
This bill, the Charting My Path for Future Success Act, would compel the Secretary of Education to reissue the procurement for the “Charting My Path for Future Success” project and to award a contract for that project as if no prior award had been made. The project, authorized under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and previously awarded to a nonprofit, is designed to help families and high schools support students with disabilities in setting goals, developing action plans, and monitoring progress toward those goals during and after high school. As of January 2025, the program 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 and requires the reissuance of the solicitation within 90 days of enactment.
