Summary

Amends the National Education Commission on Time and Learning Act (title I of Public Law 102-62) to extend by one year the authorization of appropriations for the National Education Commission on Time and Learning. Amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) (as amended by title III of Public Law 102-62) to authorize the Secretary of Education to enter into a contract or grant (currently only a contract) with the Center for Civic Education to carry out the civic education program known as "We the People...The Citizen and the Constitution."

(Currently such competition is to be at the congressional district, State, and national levels.) Makes secondary schools (as well as elementary schools) eligible to participate in such program.
