AI Summary
This bill, titled the Equitable Access to School Facilities Act, aims to improve the quality and affordability of charter school facilities by supporting and expanding state policies. It amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to allow the Secretary of Education to award grants to state entities for activities that increase charter schools' access to funding, public buildings, and adequate facilities, particularly in low-income and rural areas. These grants can be used for acquiring, leasing, renovating, and supporting ongoing facilities costs for charter schools, and states can partner with organizations to provide the non-Federal share of costs. The bill also clarifies that funds provided do not create a Federal interest in property, and it makes technical amendments to existing programs to support credit enhancement for charter school facilities and to allow for the establishment of revolving loan funds for facility-related expenses.
