Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 566.

The FLEX Act would give schools more flexibility in how they use federal education funding by allowing them to combine money from different federal programs into a single pool rather than keeping funds separated by program. This would let school districts decide how to spend the money based on their own priorities and needs instead of following strict federal rules about what each funding stream must be used for. The change would primarily affect public school administrators and teachers by giving them more control over education spending decisions.
