Allows teachers, students, and parents to contribute resources to their state portal, which is to be accessible statewide.

Permits states to use funds available to them under part A (Teacher and Principal Training and Recruiting Fund) of title II of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to maintain such initiatives after their receipt of this Act's funding ends.

Requires the Secretary to hold a conference, at least biennially, for state advisory panels on education portal initiatives to share information on best practices.

Amends the Internal Revenue Code to: (1) count corporate contributions to such initiatives separately from other corporate contributions in applying charitable contribution deductibility limits; and (2) allow corporate deductions for contributions to such initiatives to reach 50% of a corporation's taxable income.
