Access to appropriate school facilities is a critical barrier to charter school growth and to providing the best and safest educational setting for students. But the Equitable Access to School Facilities Act, introduced last week in the House of Representatives by Representative Michelle Steel of California and last year in the Senate by Senators Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Michael Bennet of Colorado, offers new solutions.
Today Rep. Michelle Steel introduced legislation to increase quality education opportunities to all students – regardless of background – by expanding federal support for charter school facilities.
Over the past few years, federal funding has begun to flow in unprecedented levels to sustainable development and decarbonizing America. This “green wave” is especially relevant to schools where billions of dollars can be spent to improve facilities and buses. While many traditional school districts have resources to help apply for these capital opportunities, small charter schools with limited resources are now finding ways to benefit as well.
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 appropriations process is well underway. While we are likely to end up with a continuing resolution (CR) through at least the election, the National Alliance has led the way to protect wins from last year and to make the Charter Schools Program more flexible through an unprecedented amount of bipartisan report language.

Now imagine spending nights and weekends trying to write a charter application on top of your demanding teaching job, or trying to live off savings from your teacher’s salary while you take a leave of absence to work on your application full-time.
