Bill overview
This bill proposes to eliminate the Department of Education and shift federal funding for elementary and secondary education directly to the states. It aims to give states more control over how they spend these funds, prioritizing competition and parental choice in education. The bill specifically excludes the Pell Grant and Direct Loan programs from the abolition. Funding would be distributed based on a state’s share of total federal individual income tax revenue.
