submitted 11 years ago by Pub. L. 89-10 to r/title-20-EDUCATION · 159 words · no verdicts yet
A state education agency must meaningfully consult the governor's office while writing certain state plans, before sending those plans to the Secretary. The governor gets 30 days to sign the plan; if the governor doesn't sign in time, the state can submit it without that signature anyway.
(a) In general. A state education agency must consult, in a timely and meaningful way, with the governor or the governor's designated officials, while developing state plans under subchapters I and II and section 7842.
(b) Timing. That consultation must include actual meetings between the state education agency and the governor's office, happening both while the plan is being developed and before it's submitted to the Secretary.
(c) Joint signature authority. The governor gets 30 days, before the state education agency submits the plan to the Secretary, to sign it. If the governor hasn't signed within 30 days of the state agency delivering the plan, the state agency may submit it to the Secretary without the governor's signature.
A State educational agency shall consult in a timely and meaningful manner with the Governor, or appropriate officials from the Governor’s office, in the development of State plans under subchapters I and II and section 7842 of this title.
The consultation described in subsection (a) shall include meetings of officials from the State educational agency and the Governor’s office and shall occur—
during the development of such plan; and
prior to submission of the plan to the Secretary.
A Governor shall have 30 days prior to the State educational agency submitting the State plan under subchapter I or II or section 7842 of this title to the Secretary to sign such plan. If the Governor has not signed the plan within 30 days of delivery by the State educational agency to the Governor, the State educational agency shall submit the plan to the Secretary without such signature.
