States would get new federal grants to help charter schools find, build, and improve their facilities.
This bill would create a new federal grant program for states to help charter schools get better buildings and make them more affordable. It would also expand how states can use existing grant money, allowing them to offer loans for facility costs. These changes aim to give charter schools more support for their physical locations, taking effect if the bill becomes law.
If this bill becomes law, states would be able to apply for a new competitive grant program. The federal government would cover up to 60 percent of the costs for charter school facilities. Additionally, states would have more flexibility with existing grants. They would be able to keep 20 percent of funds (instead of 10 percent) for other uses and establish revolving loan funds for charter school facility needs.
