Bill overview
This bill, titled the Championing Honest And Responsible Transparency in Education Reform Act (CHARTER Act), aims to prevent federal funds from being used to support charter schools that partner with for-profit companies for core operations. It clarifies definitions of ‘charter school’ and ‘nonprofit’ within the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), specifically prohibiting for-profit entities from managing or overseeing school operations. The bill seeks to ensure that public funds are used responsibly and prioritize student needs over the profits of charter management organizations.
