          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ending Common Core and Expanding School Choice Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill&amp;nbsp;revises requirements&amp;nbsp;related to federal&amp;nbsp;education funding for disadvantaged children. Specifically, the bill (1)&amp;nbsp;eliminates the standards, assessments, and academic accountability requirements for state and local educational agencies that receive federal funds for the education of disadvantaged children; (2) requires such funds to be allocated based on the number of children residing in each state who are living in poverty; and (3) allows educational agencies to distribute per-pupil amounts from such funds to parents for qualified elementary and secondary education expenses.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill prohibits federal officers or employees from mandating academic standards, assessments, curricula, or accountability systems.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
