FLEX Act enhances federal support for charter schools by increasing funding and flexibility.
The FLEX Act, or Fostering Learning and Excellence in Charter Schools Act, amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to provide greater flexibility in federal programs supporting charter schools. It increases funding allotments, allows for advance payments to charter schools, and mandates the dissemination of best practices. The act also increases access to facilities and the number of available seats in charter schools, particularly in states with limited options.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
