New Flexibility Provisions under NCLB

Student Achievement and School Accountability Conference
October 2002

Text (slide 9):

State Priority

• The legislation offers States priority to seek State-Flex authority before districts may apply for Local-Flex.
• If SEA notifies the Secretary, by May 8, 2002, that it intends to seek State-Flex authority, school districts in that State will be precluded from seeking Local-Flex agreements with the Secretary until a final determination is made concerning that State-Flex application.
