Send federal education money to states as block grants with no strings
What the document says“those funds should be blockgranted to states without strings, eliminating the need for many federal and state bureaucrats”
The chapter argues that federal money comes with rules that raise the cost of education without raising achievement, and that funding and policymaking should eventually happen at state and local level. It asks that existing funding be sent to states as grants they can put toward any lawful education purpose under state law.
