New grants would help schools create more diverse magnet programs for students.
This bill would expand who can get grants for magnet schools, allowing state education agencies to apply. It would also create a new grant program specifically to help schools become more diverse and promote integration. Schools would get money to improve facilities, offer free transportation, and boost student achievement.
Today, the Magnet Schools Assistance Program primarily provides grants to local school districts. There is no dedicated federal grant specifically for promoting diversity and integration in magnet schools. If this bill becomes law, state education agencies would also be able to apply for these grants. A new Supplemental Diversity Grant program would be created to specifically fund efforts to increase racial and socioeconomic diversity in schools. The bill would also set aside a minimum of $109 million annually for the main program.
