Work to amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act so charter schools that contract with for-profit entities for operating, overseeing, or managing them cannot receive federal funds.

Today Congresswomen Suzanne Bonamici and Rosa DeLauro introduced the Championing Honest and Responsible Transparency in Education Reform (CHARTER) Act, legislation that would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to ensure funds made available under these Acts are not awarded to charter schools that enter into contracts with a for-profit entity for operating, overseeing, or managing the charter school.

Bonamici backed legislation to block federal education funds from charter schools run by for-profit operators.

I’m grateful to be leading this initiative with Rep. DeLauro to keep student funding in public schools where it belongs.

Bonamici committed to lead the CHARTER Act effort to block federal funds from charter schools run by for-profit entities.
