Bill > S106

This bill, the Academic Partnerships Lead Us to Success Act or the A PLUS Act, aims to give states and local communities more flexibility in determining how to improve academic achievement and implement education reforms. It allows states to submit a declaration of intent to the Secretary of Education to combine certain federal education funds to manage the expenditure of those funds and advance the educational policy of the state. The bill outlines the eligible programs that can be included, the permissible uses of the funds, and the requirements for transparency and accountability to parents and the public. It also sets limits on the amount of funds that can be used for administrative expenses.
