40-second read · 4 questions answered below
The FLEX Act updates the federal Charter Schools Program by raising guaranteed minimum funding shares to state grant programs (from 12.5% to at least 15%) and charter management organizations (from 22.5% to at least 25%), reserving 30% for other purposes. It also expands allowed uses of funds to include expanding existing high-quality schools, teacher hiring, academic subscriptions, and facility repairs, while streamlining paperwork requirements.
The bill affects charter schools, state education agencies, and charter management organizations, as well as students and families at charter schools.
The changes could shift how federal charter school funds are allocated and used, affecting existing grant recipients and future funding decisions, though organizations with current grants may choose to keep operating under the old rules.
