WASHINGTON, D.C. –  Indiana 4th District Congressman Jim Baird’s (R-Greencastle) Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act has passed the U.S. House of Representatives.

Congressman Baird is the Republican lead on the bipartisan legislation, which was introduced by Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (PA-06).

The Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act modernizes math curricula to make it more applicable to real-world scenarios and improves science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in K-12 schools.
“As a PhD scientist, I know the impact STEM education has on American innovation, and we must ensure students have the mathematical problem-solving skills necessary to succeed,” Rep. Baird said.

“I am grateful to work with Rep. Houlahan on this important bill to update school curricula to better equip our students with the STEM education they need to tackle the challenges of our modern world,” Baird added. “I am proud to see this bill pass the full U.S. House, and I hope to work with the Senate to get this legislation signed into law soon.”

  • And I was told the goal was to eliminate the Federal Department of Education. That’s interesting.
