Statutory text

Rulemaking

In general

Each State that receives funds under this subchapter shall—

ensure that any State rules, regulations, and policies relating to this subchapter conform to the purposes of this subchapter and provide any such proposed rules, regulations, and policies to the committee of practitioners created under subsection (b) for review and comment;

minimize such rules, regulations, and policies to which the State’s local educational agencies and schools are subject;

eliminate or modify State and local fiscal accounting requirements in order to facilitate the ability of schools to consolidate funds under schoolwide programs;

identify any such rule, regulation, or policy as a State-imposed requirement; and

identify any duplicative or contrasting requirements between the State and Federal rules or regulations; and

eliminate the State rules and regulations that are duplicative of Federal requirements.

Support and facilitation

State rules, regulations, and policies under this subchapter shall support and facilitate local educational agency and school-level systemic reform designed to enable all children to meet the challenging State academic standards.

Committee of practitioners

In general

Each State educational agency that receives funds under this subchapter shall create a State committee of practitioners to advise the State in carrying out its responsibilities under this subchapter.

Membership

Each such committee shall include—

as a majority of its members, representatives from local educational agencies;

administrators, including the administrators of programs described in other parts of this subchapter;

teachers from traditional public schools and charter schools (if there are charter schools in the State) and career and technical educators;

principals and other school leaders;

parents;

members of local school boards;

representatives of private school children;

specialized instructional support personnel and paraprofessionals;

representatives of authorized public chartering agencies (if there are charter schools in the State); and

charter school leaders (if there are charter schools in the State).

Duties

The duties of such committee shall include a review, before publication, of any proposed or final State rule or regulation pursuant to this subchapter. In an emergency situation where such rule or regulation must be issued within a very limited time to assist local educational agencies with the operation of the program under this subchapter, the State educational agency may issue a regulation without prior consultation, but shall immediately thereafter convene the State committee of practitioners to review the emergency regulation before issuance in final form.
