Act of 2003''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) Perinatal transmission is the leading cause of 
        pediatric HIV infections, including AIDS cases.
            (2) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
        (``CDC'') estimates that nearly 7,000 HIV-infected women give 
        birth in the United States each year and as many as 400 babies 
        continue to be born with HIV infection each year.
            (3) Medical advances have made it possible to nearly 
        eliminate perinatal HIV transmission.
            (4) Research studies have demonstrated that the 
        administration of antiviral medication during pregnancy, during 
        labor, and immediately following birth can significantly reduce 
        the transmission of HIV from an infected mother to her baby. 
        Caesarean section further reduces the risk of transmission.
            (5) Even if treatment begins shortly after birth, 
        antiretroviral therapy can substantially reduce the chance that 
        an HIV-exposed infant will become infected.
            (6) Breastfeeding by HIV-infected mothers poses additional 
        significant risk of infection to babies.
            (7) The Institute of Medicine (``IOM'') has recommended the 
        adoption of a national policy of universal HIV testing, with 
        patient notification, as a routine component of prenatal care. 
        However, 15 percent of HIV-infected pregnant women receive no 
        prenatal care according to the IOM.
            (8) The CDC has recommended since 1995 that all pregnant 
        women be counseled and offered voluntary HIV testing. Yet 
        nearly half of pregnant women are still not tested according to 
        the CDC. The CDC has found that mandatory testing of newborns 
        and universal HIV testing of pregnant woman are the best 
        approaches for identifying, treating, and preventing HIV among 
        pregnant women and children.
            (9) The American Medical Association recommends mandatory 
        HIV testing of all newborns with appropriate treatment for 
        affected mothers and children.
            (10) Testing newborns whose mothers' status is unknown 
        ensures that every child at risk for HIV is identified.
            (11) More than a third of the HIV infections that occur 
        annually among newborns in the United States could be prevented 
        with routine HIV testing of pregnant woman or newborns 
        according to a 2002 report by the Inspector General of the 
        Department of Health and Human Services. This represents over 
        100 babies born every year that are needlessly infected.
            (12) The provision of testing of pregnant women and 
        newborns with appropriate counseling and treatment can 
        significantly reduce the number of pediatric HIV infections, 
        including AIDS cases, can improve access to and medical care 
        for the woman and children, and can provide opportunities to 
        further reduce transmission among adults.
            (13) The provision of such testing, counseling, and 
        treatment can reduce the overall cost of pediatric HIV 
        infections, including AIDS cases.
            (14) New York State has required mandatory HIV counseling 
        and voluntary testing for pregnant women and mandatory HIV 
        testing of all newborns since February 1997. As a result, the 
        perinatal HIV transmission rate in the State has dropped from 
        25 percent to an all time low of 3.5 percent and over 99 
percent of HIV-infected women and their children have been linked to 
care.
    (15) For the foregoing reasons--
                    (A) universal routine HIV testing of pregnant women 
                and newborns should be the standard of care; and
                    (B) the relevant medical organizations, as well as 
                public health officials, should issue guidelines making 
                such testing, counseling, and treatment the standard of 
                care.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Summer Term Education Programs for 
Upward Performance Act of 2005'' or the ``STEP UP Act of 2005''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) All students experience learning losses when they do 
        not engage in educational activities during the summer.
            (2) Students on average lose more than 1 month's worth of 
        reading skills, and 2 months or more in mathematics facts and 
        skills, during the summer.
            (3) The impact of summer learning loss is greatest for 
        children living in poverty, for children with learning 
        disabilities, and for children who do not speak English at 
        home.
            (4) While middle-class children's test scores plateau or 
        even rise during the summer months, scores plummet for children 
        living in poverty. Disparities grow, so that reading scores of 
        disadvantaged students can fall more than 3 months behind the 
        scores of their middle-class peers.
            (5) Summer learning losses by children living in poverty 
        accumulate over the elementary school years, so that their 
        achievement scores fall further and further behind the scores 
        of their more advantaged peers as the children progress through 
        school.
            (6) This summer slide is costly for American education. 
        Analysis by Professor Harris Cooper and his colleagues finds 
        that 2 months of the school year are lost: 1 month spent in 
        reteaching and 1 month spent not providing new instruction.
            (7) Analysis of summer learning programs has demonstrated 
        their effectiveness. In the BELL programs in Boston, New York, 
        and Washington, DC, students gained several months' worth of 
        reading and mathematics skills in 6 weeks, with a majority of 
        those students moving to a higher performance category, as 
        assessed by standardized mathematics and reading tests. In the 
        Center for Summer Learning's Teach Baltimore Summer Academy, 
        randomized studies show that students who regularly attended 
        the program for not less than 2 summers gained advantages of 70 
        to 80 percent of 1 full grade level in reading over control-
        group peers who did not attend summer school.
            (8) Summer learning programs are proven to remedy, 
        reinforce, and accelerate learning, and can serve to close the 
        achievement gap in education.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

learning by providing summer learning grants to eligible students, in

        development professionals in order to bridge gaps between 
        schools and youth programs; and
            (4) encourage teachers to try new techniques, acquire new
