Apr 6, 2026
WASHINGTON, D.C. —Senator Moody recently announced her intent to introduce the Fostering Learning and Excellence in Charter Schools Act, continuing her efforts to fight for Florida students and their families. The FLEX Act will eliminate unnecessary regulations that currently dictate how charter schools can spend their grant funding.
“Since taking office, I’ve made standing up for students a top priority. The FLEX Act builds on our efforts to expand school choice by reducing unnecessary regulations and giving charter schools the autonomy to innovate and meet the unique needs of their communities. By supporting charter schools in this endeavor, we can create more opportunities for families and ensure students have access to the education that works best for them,” saidSenator Ashley Moody.
“There is no better cause than creating educational opportunities for our next generation of leaders. We are setting up our children and grandchildren for success when we allow schools to invest in the resources that will empower parents and students to make the decisions best for them. Our kids are the most precious resource we have, and I’m proud to support this legislation to ensure our students can achieve the brightest future possible,” saidSenator Tommy Tuberville.
“With charter school enrollment at record highs, now is the time to cut the red tape that denies students the opportunities they deserve. I’m proud to join Senator Moody in introducing the FLEX Act to ensure charter schools have access to the resources they need to meet the growing demand from families and to expand educational pathways to prepare the next generation for the jobs of the future,” saidSenator Ted Budd.
