# K–12 AI Literacy and Readiness Act of 2026

Summary, written by a model from the CRS summary

Allows states and school districts to use Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants for AI instruction, including professional development for teachers, librarians, and administrators on using and teaching AI safely and responsibly.

Model-rated AI relevance 80%: The bill is directly about AI education and literacy, but it only expands what an existing grant can be used for. (claude-opus-5-5, Oct 22, 2026)
