States Gain Flexibility to Consolidate Federal Education Funds for Local Needs.

This law allows US states to combine and flexibly spend most federal education funds, enabling them to tailor educational programs better to local community needs. In exchange for this flexibility, states must ensure full transparency and regularly report student progress and fund usage to parents and taxpayers. The goal is to reduce bureaucracy and focus resources directly on improving academic achievement.
Key points
States can consolidate most federal education grants and spend them according to state law, excluding funds designated for individuals with disabilities (IDEA).
Increased transparency: States must publish annual, detailed reports on student progress and how federal funds were used to improve outcomes and reduce disparities.
Administrative costs for managing these consolidated funds are capped at a maximum of 1% (or 3% in specific circumstances).
