Trump set to issue executive order boosting school choice programs
by Alex Gangitano - 01/28/25 10:30 PM ET
President Trump is expected to issue an executive order to boost school choice programs by freeing up federal government spending towards it, a White House official confirmed.
CBS first reported on the expected order, which Trump is expected to sign on Wednesday. The order would direct the Department of Education to prioritize the usage of discretionary grant programs for school choice and direct the agency to issue guidance on how much money to give districts and schools for K-12 scholarship programs.
The order will direct the Department of Health and Human Services to issue guidance about states getting grants for families to use funding from the grant programs to support private and faith-based schools.
The order is also expected to direct newly sworn in Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to look into how military families can use school choice and report back to Trump how military families can use Department of Defense funding to send children of servicemembers to their choice of school.
