Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require the United States and the States to jointly ensure a high-quality education to all persons within the United States.

Educational Opportunity and Accountability Act of 2025

To establish a constitutional right to a high-quality education for all persons in the United States, enforced jointly by the federal government and the states, in order to address educational disparities and ensure equal opportunity.

Bipartisan rationale: Democratic priorities honored: This bill addresses educational equity by targeting funds to disadvantaged students and requiring measurable outcomes, aligning with Democratic goals of reducing achievement gaps. Republican priorities honored: It respects state and local control by making participation voluntary, limits federal spending by reallocating existing funds, includes a sunset clause to prevent permanent expansion, and uses competitive grants rather than mandates, appealing to federalism and fiscal conservatism.

Vote-count path: ~260 House votes: 180 Democrats + 80 Republicans from moderate and oversight-minded caucuses; ~65 Senate votes: 48 Democrats + 17 Republicans from states with strong education reform interests.
