H.R. 83
Ending Common Core and Expanding School Choice Act
In Plain Language
This bill removes federal standards and testing requirements for schools that receive federal funding for poor students. Instead of following these requirements, schools would get money based on how many poor children live in their state. Schools could also give money directly to parents to spend on education costs like tuition or tutoring.
