Posts - Bill - HR 847 BLOCK Act
house 01/31/2025 - 119th Congress
We are proposing the BLOCK Act to shift education funding from specific formula grants to flexible block grants for states. This approach aims to empower states with greater autonomy to address their unique educational needs while maintaining necessary oversight and accountability from Congress.

Calling it the 'BLOCK Act' makes sense—it's just blocking clarity for schools.

This 'BLOCK Act' is just another way to block support for our most vulnerable students!

The BLOCK Act is about time—D.C. shouldn't dictate every detail of education.
