The D.C. State Board of Education Expanded Authority Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance the authority of the D.C. State Board of Education by allowing it to initiate education policy actions and amend requests from the Office of the State Superintendent of Education with a two-thirds majority vote. The bill introduces new provisions that require the submission of education-related data from relevant D.C. government entities and mandates that the government entities give "great weight" to the recommendations made by the State Board. Specifically, the State Board can formally request policy actions and data submissions, and if the government entities do not comply, the Board can compel them to act through a supermajority resolution.

Key amendments include the insertion of a new subsection that outlines the process for the State Board to request policy actions and data, as well as the requirement for government entities to provide written rationale for their decisions regarding the Board's recommendations. This written rationale must detail the reasons for either accepting or rejecting the Board's advice, ensuring accountability and transparency in the decision-making process. The bill emphasizes the importance of the State Board's input in educational policy and aims to strengthen its role in the governance of public education in the District of Columbia.
