Ending Common Core and Expanding School Choice Act

Bill 119 hr 83, also known as the "Education Equity and Opportunity Act," aims to amend part A of title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. The main goal of this bill is to give states the flexibility to allow federal funds for the education of disadvantaged children to follow low-income children to the public school, charter school, accredited private school, or supplemental educational service program they attend.

This means that instead of the federal funds being allocated to specific schools or districts, the funds would be allocated based on the individual low-income students, allowing them to choose the school or program that best fits their needs. This would give low-income students more options and opportunities for a quality education.

The bill also includes provisions for accountability and transparency, ensuring that the funds are being used effectively and that students are making academic progress. Additionally, the bill aims to promote innovation and competition in the education system, ultimately leading to improved outcomes for disadvantaged children. Overall, the Education Equity and Opportunity Act seeks to empower low-income students and their families by giving them more control over their education and providing them with access to a wider range of educational opportunities.
