Expanding Educational Freedom and Opportunity for Families

What it means

Directs federal agencies to expand educational choice initiatives, allowing families to select alternatives to government-run schools. The order requires various departments to develop plans for using federal funds to support school choice programs, including private and faith-based options.

Expected impact

• Increased support for families seeking alternatives to traditional public schools through redirected federal funding
• Expansion of school choice options for military families and Native American students
• Potential improvement in student achievement through competition between schools
• Likely resistance from public education advocates concerned about diverting funds from public schools
• Greater educational opportunities for families in underperforming school districts
