Children Have Opportunities in Classrooms Everywhere Act

This bill would change how federal education funds are distributed by allowing funds to follow students to the schools they attend, rather than being tied to school districts. It provides financial support to low-income students (from households with income ≤130% of poverty level) who attend public, private, or home schools. The bill establishes two types of funding: a "concentration distribution" based on school district poverty rates (ranging from $50-$300) and a "basic distribution" based on family income. Funds would be distributed to the student's school or deposited into their 529 education savings account, with privacy protections for collected data.
