FLEX Act amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to enhance flexibility in federal charter school programs.

The FLEX Act amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to provide greater flexibility in federal programs supporting charter schools. It allows states to use approved charter authorization applications instead of requiring new applications. The bill increases funding allotments for charter schools and mandates that at least 15% of funds be used for hiring and compensating teachers, school leaders, and support personnel. It also expands the types of curricular offerings that can be supported, including digital and online subscriptions.
