SCHOOL Act of 2025
4/4/2025, 12:46 PMSummary of Bill HR 2275
Bill 119 HR 2275, also known as the "Student Empowerment Act," aims to allow Federal funds allocated for kindergarten through 12th grade education to be portable and follow the student to the school of their choice. This means that if a student decides to transfer to a different public or private school, the funding designated for their education would move with them.The bill is designed to give parents and students more flexibility and control over their education by allowing them to choose the school that best fits their needs, whether it be a traditional public school, charter school, private school, or homeschooling. Proponents of the bill argue that this will promote competition among schools, leading to improved quality of education and better outcomes for students.
Critics, however, raise concerns about the potential impact on public schools, particularly those in low-income areas that rely heavily on Federal funding. They worry that allowing funds to follow the student could exacerbate existing inequalities in the education system and further disadvantage students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2275 has sparked a contentious debate about the best way to reform the education system in the United States. Supporters believe it will empower parents and students, while opponents fear it could widen the achievement gap. The bill is currently under review in Congress, with both sides actively lobbying for their respective positions.
