Bill > HR557

This bill, the Make Education Local Act of 2021, aims to give states and local communities more flexibility and control in determining how to improve academic achievement and implement education policy. It allows states to submit a "State management decision" to the Secretary of Education to consolidate certain federal education funds and use them for any educational purpose permitted by state law. The bill also requires states operating under this law to establish an accountability system focused on student academic achievement and to report on student progress. Additionally, the bill limits the amount of federal funds that can be used for administrative expenses by states with a State management decision.
