(from NPR) Last Wednesday, President Trump directed several government agencies to develop plans for redirecting federal funds in an effort to expand school choice. Trump ordered the Education Secretary, within 60 days, to issue guidance to states on how they can use federal funds to support school choice. The order also directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a plan outlining how Defense Department funds can be used to allow military families to send their children to schools of their choice.
