The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, led by its chairman Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), held an event focused on expanding access to charter schools, with an emphasis on how Congress and the Education Department plan to ensure the schools have sufficient facilities and capital.

The Thursday event came two days after Cassidy introduced the Equitable Access to School Facilities Act.
