National School Choice Week, 2026

The order directs the Department of Education to issue guidance on how states can use federal funding to support K-12 scholarship programs and to prioritize school choice programs in the department's grants. It also mandates the Secretary of Education to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education, aiming to save billions of dollars and allow states to determine their own education policy. A new law, the One Big Beautiful Bill, creates a nationwide tax credit program for education and establishes a Trump Account for every American newborn, expanding the use of 529 accounts for elementary and high school education.
