Bill > HR2386

This bill, titled the "Make Education Great Again Act," aims to shift educational decision-making power away from the federal government and towards parents, states, and local communities. The bill provides the Secretary of Education with expanded authorities to reduce federal regulatory barriers, promote school choice, and empower local educational decision-making. Key provisions include allowing the Secretary to review and rescind federal regulations that limit parental rights, support school choice through programs like education savings accounts and vouchers, reduce administrative burdens on schools, and enhance transparency in educational content and funding. The bill explicitly states that it will not mandate curriculum or assessment standards for states or local educational agencies, and it preserves parental rights to direct their children's education. Additionally, the bill requires quarterly reporting to congressional committees about any reduced federal education spending, and it includes safeguards to prevent new federal spending beyond existing appropriations. The underlying philosophy of the bill is that local control and parental choice will lead to more innovative and effective educational outcomes compared to federal oversight.
