Summer Youth Educational Enhancement Act - Authorizes appropriations for FY 1985 through 1988 to the Department of Education for a summer youth educational enhancement program.
Requires that such program funds for any fiscal year be allocated among State education agencies (SEAs) in proportion to their allocations for the preceding fiscal year under chapter 1 (Financial Assistance to Meet Special Educational Needs of Disadvantaged Children) of the Educational Consolidation and Improvement Act of 1981 (ECIA). Makes ECIA provisions relating to availability of appropriations applicable to funds for this Act.
Requires that such funds allocated to an SEA be made available to local educational agencies (LEAs) for programs that: (1) provide basic and remedial education to participants in the summer youth employment and training programs operated under part B (Summer Youth Employment and Training Programs) of title II (Training Services for the Disadvantaged) of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA); and (2) are operated in conjunction with such employment and training programs.
