Creates new grants for experienced educators to plan and open charter schools.
This bill would create new grants for experienced educators who want to start charter schools. It would also change how federal money is divided for existing charter school grants, giving states more flexibility to offer support and improve oversight.
Today, 90 percent of federal charter school grant money goes to main subgrants, and at least 7 percent goes to technical assistance. This bill would change those amounts, sending 82 percent to main subgrants and allowing up to 10 percent for technical assistance. It would also create a new category, reserving up to 5 percent of funds for pre-charter planning grants for educator-led developers.
