Bill > HR1185

This bill, the "Make Education Local Act of 2023," 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 to establish an accountability system focused on student academic achievement and regularly report on student progress to parents and the public. Additionally, the bill limits the amount of federal funds that states can use for administrative expenses.
