Legislation

No Child Left Behind made some changes to the scope of an ED-Flex State’s waiver authority. In particular, under the Education Partnership Act of 1999, as amended by NCLB, an ED-Flex State may not waive statutory or regulatory requirements relating to sections 1111 and 1116 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.

The Education Flexibility Partnership Act of 1999 link should be read in conjunction with the amendments in the NCLB update of programs covered under Ed-Flex below:
