PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``21st Century Community Learning 
Centers Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) a local public school often serves as a center for the 
        delivery of education and human resources for all members of a 
        community;
            (2) public schools, primarily in rural and inner city 
        communities, should collaborate with other public and nonprofit 
        agencies and organizations, local businesses, educational 
        entities (such as vocational and adult education programs, 
        school to work programs, community colleges, and universities), 
        recreational, cultural, and other community and human service 
        entities for the purpose of meeting the needs and expanding the 
        opportunities available to the residents of the communities 
        served by such schools;
            (3) by using school facilities, equipment, and resources, 
        communities can promote a more efficient use of public 
        education facilities, especially in rural and inner city areas 
        where limited financial resources have enhanced the necessity 
        for local public schools to become social service centers;
            (4) the high technology, global economy of the 21st century 
        will require lifelong learning to keep America's workforce 
        competitive and successful, local public schools should provide 
        centers for lifelong learning and educational opportunities for 
        individuals of all ages; and
            (5) 21st Century Community Learning Centers enable the 
        entire community to develop an education strategy that 
        addresses the educational needs of all members of local 
        communities.

PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Deamonte Driver Dental Care Access 
Improvement Act of 2008''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 
        that between the periods 1988 to 1994 and between 1994 and 
        2004, tooth decay increased 15 percent among toddlers and 
        preschoolers 2 to 5 years old.
            (2) During the period 1999 to 2004, 28 percent of young 
        children experienced cavities.
            (3) Among 2 year olds in the United States, 1-in-10 already 
        have cavities, and by age 5 that figure jumps to 2-in-5 
        children.
            (4) Tooth decay is the single most common childhood chronic 
        disease, and it disproportionately affects poor and minority 
        children.
            (5) Eighty percent of dental decay occurs in just 25 
        percent of children.
            (6) Parents are 3 times more likely to report that their 
        children's dental needs are unmet, when compared with general 
        medical care needs.
            (7) While 9,000,000 of the children in this Nation do not 
        have medical insurance, more than twice that number--
        23,000,000--do not have dental insurance.
            (8) One out of 20 middle-aged adults in the United States 
        are missing all their teeth.
            (9) More than 40 percent of low income adults have at least 
        1 untreated decayed tooth compared to 16 percent of non-poor 
        adults.
            (10) Employed adults lose more than 164,000,000 hours of 
        work each year due to oral health problems or dental visits.
            (11) For every adult 19 years or older without medical 
        insurance, there are 3 without dental insurance.
            (12) About 25 percent of adults 60 years old and older no 
        longer have any natural teeth. Having missing teeth can affect 
        nutrition, since people without teeth often prefer soft, easily 
        chewed foods.

SEC. 3. DENTAL WORKFORCE IMPROVEMENT.

    (a) Dentistry Workforce Pilot Program.--Title VII of the Public 
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 292 et seq.) is amended by inserting 
after section 747 the following:
