I thank the gentlewoman for this amendment. Mr. Chairman, family engagement centers are available to help parents understand and engage in their children's education.

In today's world, financial literacy is an important issue for parents to be able to understand and support their children's education. I want to be clear that this language is part of a grant application and requirement. In that regard, it is not part of a testing standard or a teacher training standard. With that, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and the underlying bill. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR.
