Universal School Choice Act

# Universal School Choice Act (HR 3519) Summary **What It Would Do** The Universal School Choice Act would expand education options by allowing federal education funding to follow students to their school of choice, rather than being tied to traditional public schools. If passed, this would enable families to use federal education dollars at private schools, charter schools, religious schools, or homeschooling programs—not just their assigned public school. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily affect K-12 students and families, schools (both public and private), and state education systems. Public school districts could lose funding if students choose to attend other types of schools, while private and charter schools would potentially gain new sources of federal money. **Key Provision & Current Status** The main provision creates a funding mechanism where money designated for education follows the student rather than supporting the public school system as a whole.

Currently, the bill is in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. No additional details about specific provisions are available from the summary provided.
