US Department of Education revives Ed-Flex, urges states to bypass federal mandates and reclaim control over schools
The US Department of Education has reminded states of their ability to seek authority under the Ed-Flex Act of 1999, reigniting the debate over federal versus state control in education. The initiative allows states to bypass certain federal mandates, with supporters hailing it as a path to innovation and critics warning of weakened equity safeguards.
