H.R. 4701: Charting My Path for Future Success Act

This bill, titled the Charting My Path for Future Success Act, is designed to direct the Secretary of Education to take specific actions regarding a project aimed at supporting students with disabilities. The primary goal is to reissue a solicitation and award a contract related to the "Charting My Path for Future Success" project, which had previously been awarded to a nonprofit organization.

Objectives of the Project

The project focuses on helping families and high schools support students with disabilities as they prepare for life after high school. It seeks to assist educators in training to:

• Help students set achievable goals that build skills for success both in school and in life.
• Develop action plans that correspond to these goals.
• Reflect on their progress towards goals and make necessary adjustments to goals or action plans.

Implementation Timeline

According to the bill, the Secretary of Education must reissue the contract within 90 days of the bill's enactment. This is expected to happen as if the previous contract had never been awarded, thereby restarting the process.

Background of the Project

The "Charting My Path for Future Success" project aims to equip high school students with the tools and resources they need to succeed. In January 2025, following the completion of the necessary training through this project, a total of 61 educators will begin assisting approximately 1,600 students across 62 high schools. These schools are part of 13 local educational agencies.

Contract Stability

Importantly, the bill stipulates that the contract awarded under this section cannot be canceled without Congressional approval, thereby ensuring that the project has stability and support throughout its implementation period.
