Mandate
Mandate Ch. 11 (Education) — Charter School Grant Programs: new Administration must take immediate steps to rescind the new CSP requirements and lessen federal restrictions on charter schools.
Undo plan
1) Restore CSP priorities that include community impact, access, and oversight without illegal add-ons.
2) Keep fiscal/governance transparency conditions that prevent waste.
3) Use negotiated rulemaking/APA process for any replacement priorities.
4) Protect existing grantees from abrupt criterion whiplash.
5) Verify: CSP award diversity and authorizing-quality indicators.
