The STEM Education Coordination Act of 2009 (S. 1210) was introduced by Senator Kaufman on June 8, 2009. The act was cosponsored with Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and asked for greater coordination of STEM education resources at the federal level. The bill called for the Office of Science and Technology Policy to establish a committee under the National Science and Technology Council that would be responsible for coordinating federal science, technology, engineering, and math education programs and activities.
