The U.S. Department of Education has announced an increase of $60 million in funding for the federal Charter Schools Program (CSP) this fiscal year. Alongside this financial boost, a new grant initiative called the Model Development and Dissemination (MDD) Grants has been launched within the CSP.

The Department's announcement underscores a focus on recognizing and sharing effective educational practices, providing charter schools with both a platform and funding to do so. The move reflects "a real commitment to expanding high-quality public charter school options," according to those appreciative of the Trump Administration's efforts.

The MDD Grants are designed to highlight solutions developed by public charter schools at various stages, from planning through expansion. These grants aim to empower educators and leaders who drive student success, offering them tools to disseminate their successful practices nationwide.
