Executive Order to Expand Educational Freedom and Opportunity for Families

Consultation will be conducted to seek input from Tribes and stakeholders on the EO and related topics including: (1) Any available mechanisms that could provide families of eligible students use of Federal funding for educational options of their choice including how any such mechanisms will be funded; (2) To the extent that there exist any such mechanisms to implement in the 2025-26 school year, the eligibility criteria for students in the plan referenced in the EO; (3) Educational options near existing BIE-funded schools that could provide potentially eligible students local flexibility to attend a non-BIE school, such as private, faith-based, or public charter schools.
