The federal spending bill approved by Congress and signed into law today by President Trump provides critical funding for schools, teachers, and students. Chiefs for Change, a bipartisan network of diverse state and district education Chiefs, is especially pleased that the measure includes $440 million for the Charter School Program, the highest-ever funding level in the program’s more than 20-year history, as well as significant increases to support disadvantaged children, identify evidence-based education programs, and promote pathways that lead to college and meaningful careers.
