Education Act expands federal role in schools nationwide
Congress reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act promising a $12.5 billion funding package led by Title I for disadvantaged students. The bill increases federal control over curriculum standards and materials with gender equity provisions and a new role for a special assistant on gender issues. It also allows the secretary to influence testing and AP points with appointees from groups like teachers unions, potentially weakening independent testing. Parental choice provisions require comprehensive transfer plans and agreements, possibly vetoing student moves. Education policy, advocates argue, should remain mainly state and local.
