WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is expected to sign a sweeping executive order Wednesday that would prioritize and free up federal funding to expand school choice programs, according to two sources familiar with his plans.
The order is expected to affect several federal departments, including the Department of Education, directing it to prioritize school choice programs through its discretionary grants and issue guidance to states about federal allocations to districts and schools, a senior White House official said
The Department of Health and Human Services would be directed to issue guidance that explains how states receiving block grants for families and children can use that money for faith-based and private institutions, the official said.
It would also direct Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to present a plan to Trump on how military families can use department funds to send their children to schools of their choosing, and it would direct the interior secretary to submit a plan on how students at Bureau of Indian Education schools can take advantage of federal funds for school choice.
