Republican Florida Congressman Aaron Bean has introduced legislation that would require public K-12 schools to inform parents about any dealings the school might have with “foreign governments of concern.”
Bean, representing Clay and Duval counties and part of Nassau County in the U.S. House of Representatives, introduced his Transparency in Reporting of Adversarial Contributions to Education Act on Friday.
The bill would establish that parents have the right to know whether their children’s schools bought or otherwise acquired curricular or professional development material using funds from “a foreign country or a foreign entity of concern,” according to the bill text.
