Dale Kildee: “The Girls Act strengthens support for programs to keep pregnant and parenting teens in school to earn a high school…”

The Girls Act reauthorizes WEEA.

We need to dismantle the virtual ceiling now, before it becomes a real-life barrier to girls' futures.

I am pleased to introduce The Educating America's Girls Act of 1999, or the Girls Act, along with Representatives Nancy Johnson, William Clay, Connie Morella, Lynn Woolsey, and many of my other colleagues today.

The Girls Act affords an opportunity to greatly reduce the incidence of sexual harassment by gathering data on these often hidden offenses and providing programs to prevent sexual harassment and abuse.
