Education Funding: Federal Money Follows the Student

This act changes how education is funded, allowing federal money for K-12 education to follow the student, whether they attend public, private, or home school. Parents gain more control over how their children's education funds are used, potentially impacting school choice and access to various educational resources.
Key points
Parents can use federal education funds for private school tuition, homeschooling materials, tutoring, extracurricular activities, and other educational needs.
Funds will be distributed through education savings accounts for children enrolled in private schools or home schools.
The act also covers children with disabilities, ensuring funds for their special education needs follow them to their chosen educational setting.
States must establish plans for school choice notification and data collection solely for fund distribution purposes.
