HR 7086 United States House · 119th Congress

Equitable Access to School Facilities Act

HR 7086 creates a federal grant program to help states improve charter schools' access to facilities. It provides competitive grants to state education agencies that submit detailed plans showing how they will increase charter schools' access to funding, public buildings, and adequate facilities - particularly in low-income and rural communities. States receiving grants must use federal funds (capped at 60% of costs) to support facility acquisition, leasing, renovation, or financing mechanisms, while ensuring these funds supplement - rather than replace - existing state resources. The bill directly affects charter schools and state education agencies, focusing on closing facility access gaps between charter schools and traditional public schools.
