It argues that school choice leads to better educational outcomes, increased safety, and financial savings, aiming to return decision-making to parents and create a more efficient education system.

The Executive Order titled "Expanding Educational Freedom and Opportunity for Families" outlines the U.S. President's commitment to improving educational options for families. It aims to support parents in choosing the best educational setting for their children by expanding K-12 educational choice and increasing competition among schools. The order instructs various government departments to review and implement mechanisms, such as grants, to facilitate greater educational freedom, particularly for low-income, military, and Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) families. Within specified timeframes, departments are tasked with evaluating and recommending ways to use federal funding to support educational alternatives, including private and faith-based options.
