  • assist such students in accessing quality, affordable child care, and early childhood education services;
  • provide transportation services or assistance to such students and their children;
  • educate students, parents, and community members regarding the educational rights of such students;
  • train school personnel regarding the challenges facing expectant and parenting students and their educational rights;
  • revise school policies and practices that hinder or discourage such students from continuing their education;
  • provide student parents with training and support in parenting, healthy relationship skills, unplanned pregnancy prevention strategies, and other life skills; and
  • provide educational and career mentoring services and peer groups to expectant and parenting students.

Gives subgrant priority to LEAs in geographic areas with teen birth rates that: (1) exceed the state average, or (2) are below the state average but higher than the state average for one or more racial or ethnic groups.

Directs the Secretary to conduct national activities that include: (1) providing technical assistance to states and reviewing their plans for educating expectant and parenting students, (2) evaluating subgrantees' programs and education program service delivery models for such students, and (3) gathering and disseminating information regarding the education of such students and best practices in facilitating it.

Amends the school improvement program under part A of title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to require states to include in their annual state report cards data regarding their expectant and parenting students, in the aggregate and disaggregated and cross-tabulated by specified student subgroups.
