H.R. 3250 establishes two complementary grant programs to support innovative learning models in K-12 schools. The first program, administered by the Institute for Education Sciences, provides competitive grants in three phases (development, evaluation, and expansion) to organizations designing comprehensive school programs that integrate instruction, teaching practices, operations, and technology—excluding standalone technology platforms. The second program distributes formula-based grants to states and local school districts from fiscal years 2026-2035 and 2027-2036, with states required to reserve at least 95 percent of their funding for district-level grants (with minimum $10,000 allocations per district) and submit plans ensuring equitable access and improved student achievement. Both programs include peer review processes, federal safeguards against government control of specific models, and annual public reporting requirements on effectiveness and student outcomes.
