20 U.S.C. § 7927 — Sense of Congress on restoration of State sovereignty over public education
submitted 11 years ago by Pub. L. 89-10 to r/title-20-EDUCATION · 43 words · no verdicts yet
Congress believes state and local officials should learn about the rules for this chapter's programs. They should get this information before their state or local agency asks to join those programs. This section states an opinion, not a binding rule.
This is a "Sense of Congress" statement. That means it tells you what Congress believes, but it does not create a rule that anyone must follow.
Congress says state and local officials should be told about the requirements that come with joining programs under this chapter. A "chapter" here means the larger part of the federal education law that this section belongs to.
The idea is about timing: officials should learn about these requirements before a state or local educational agency actually asks to take part in one of these programs. That way, they know what they are agreeing to in advance.
Because this section only expresses Congress's opinion, it does not require the Secretary of Education or anyone else to take a specific action. It does not create rights that a person could enforce in court. It simply records what Congress thinks should happen.
It is the Sense of Congress that State and local officials should be consulted and made aware of the requirements that accompany participation in activities authorized under this chapter prior to a State or local educational agency’s request to participate in such activities.
