SOAR Act Improvements Act

This bill changes the federal program that gives private school scholarships to students in the District of Columbia. It extends funding for the program through fiscal year 2032 and changes how the money is split. It lets the Secretary of Education renew the program's grant for up to 5 more years without competition, allows scholarships to be used starting in pre-kindergarten, and adds tutoring as an allowed expense. It changes school accreditation rules and lets board members of the group running the program live in nearby Maryland and Virginia areas. It also changes how the program is studied, requiring a public report by January 1, 2027, and every 7 years after that.
