Smith Cosponsors the High School Athletics Accountability Act
Adam recently cosponsored the High School Athletics Accountability Act, H.R. 458, which would require high schools to publicly report basic data on the number of female and male students participating in their athletic programs and the expenditures made for their sports teams. This information is already collected by schools, but this bill would make baseline Title IX information available to the public.
