President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Wednesday that will allow federal funding to support school choice programs across the U.S. 

The document on the order obtained by the CBS News states the Education Department has to use grants to prioritize funding for so-called school-choice, which essentially allows families to use public funds to attend the school of their choice – including public, private, charter and home schools – not the school to which they have be assigned.  

"Every child deserves the best education available, regardless of their zip code," the White House document reads.

"However, for generations, our government-assigned education system has failed millions of parents, students and teachers," it continues. "This executive order begins to rectify that wrong by opening up opportunities for students to attend the school that best fits their needs."

The order also directs Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to devise plan on how military families can use agency funds to send their kids to the school of their choice.

When Trump was on the campaign trail, he made school choice a top part of his agenda.
