submitted 32 years ago by Pub. L. 89-10 to r/title-20-EDUCATION · 91 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary can forgive a school district's debt for money it was overpaid under this program. This applies if the Secretary made the mistake, or if the district made the mistake and paying it all back would create serious financial hardship and hurt its schools.

Despite any other law, the Secretary may forgive some or all of a local school district's duty to repay an overpayment it received under this subchapter or an earlier version of the program. The Secretary can do this if the overpayment happened because of an error made by: (1) the Secretary, or (2) the district -- but only if paying back the full amount would create undue financial hardship for the district and seriously hurt its educational program.

(1)

the Secretary; or

(2)

the local educational agency and repayment of the full amount of the overpayment will result in an undue financial hardship on the agency and seriously harm the agency’s educational program.
