ED officials have proposed significant changes to ED’s Charter Schools Program policies. The public has an interest in knowing which outside interest groups may be affecting ED’s CSP rulemaking and policy agenda, particularly regarding ED’s anticipated rulemaking concerning the CSP, announced on March 14, 2022 (Agency/Docket Number: ED-2022-OESE-0006). DFI is particularly concerned that the proposed CSP rulemaking will remove educational opportunities for racial minorities and other socioeconomically disadvantaged students. DFI thus seeks records and information related to ED’s Charter Schools Program proposed priorities, requirements, definitions, and grant selection criteria and related policies since January 20, 2021.
