HR 83 United States House · 119th Congress

Ending Common Core and Expanding School Choice Act

This bill changes how federal education funds are distributed by directing funds to follow eligible low-income students (ages 5-17 from families below poverty level) to their families or schools. It allows states to use these funds for qualified expenses like public school tuition, private school tuition at approved schools, or supplemental programs. The bill explicitly prohibits federal officials from mandating specific curricula, assessments, or standards - such as Common Core - requiring states to maintain control over education content. It also repeals existing federal assessment grants, shifting focus to student-centered funding.
