CHARTER Act

Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

2026-04-30

This bill would prevent charter schools from receiving federal education funding if they hire for-profit companies to run or manage their operations, requiring them to be operated by nonprofit organizations instead. The change would affect charter schools and the for-profit management companies that currently contract with them, potentially forcing schools to restructure their management or lose access to federal dollars for education programs and special education services. The goal is to ensure that federal education money goes directly to nonprofit educational organizations rather than for-profit businesses.
