As dissatisfaction with America's educational system has grown, efforts to implement broad, systematic education reform have accelerated. Some experts and local administrators have advocated loosening federal requirements that are thought to potentially impede new or innovative instructional requirements. This report presents information on (1) the major federal requirements that affect school districts, (2) the issues that school districts face in implementing these requirements, and (3) the impact of the U.S. Dept. of Education's flexibility initiatives on school districts' ability to address these implementation issues.

When the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was reauthorized in 2004, it included provisions to reduce administrative and paperwork requirements to address concerns about burden. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) was asked to review federal efforts to reduce burden related to meeting IDEA requirements for educating children with disabilities. Congress provided about $11.5 billion in grants in fiscal year 2015 under IDEA Part B to help states and local districts defray the costs of special education services for nearly 6.6 million students ages 3 to 21. This report examines (1) what the Department of Education (Education) and states have done to implement selected IDEA provisions intended to reduce burden; (2) stakeholder views about IDEA's administrative and paperwork requirements; and (3) steps that Education and others have taken to minimize IDEA-related burden. GAO reviewed relevant federal laws and regulations; held nongeneralizable focus groups with state and local administrators and educators from 37 states; visited schools in Clinton, Arkansas and Rochester, New York; and interviewed officials from Education and stakeholder organizations. GAO selected focus group participants, site visit locations, and organizations to highlight a range of demographic and geographic characteristics and obtain perspectives from a variety of stakeholders. The following are appended: (1) Objectives, Scope, and Methodology; (2) Comments from the U.S. Department of Education; and (3) GAO Contact and Staff Acknowledgments.

This study focuses on flexibility provisions in the Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) provision of NCLB. Specifically, it addresses REAP Flex, a program that allows rural districts additional control over how to spend portions of their federal funding. REAP Flex is part of a series of NCLB flexibility initiatives aimed at rural schools. The four primary findings of this study were: (1) Half of eligible districts participated in the REAP Flex program; (2) REAP Flex authority was most often used to provide additional funds for services under Title I, Part A. Districts also commonly used REAP Flex to focus on programs related to Title V, Part A (State Grants for Innovative Programs), and Title II, Part D (Educational Technology State Grants). The program funds most commonly used for other program purposes came from Title II, Part A (Improving Teacher Quality State Grants), and Title IV, Part A (Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities); (3) Districts focused their efforts on targeting low-performing student subgroups and raising reading and math outcomes via improvements in technology and teacher quality; and (4) The primary reason eligible districts do not participate in REAP Flex is a lack of information. The main reason districts do participate is to address funding restrictions. The following are appended: (1) Methodology; (2) Data Tables with Standard Errors; (3) REAP Flex Authority District Administrator Survey; and (4) REAP Flex Authority District Interview Protocols. (Contains 20 exhibits.)

Flexibility is a lever for change that occupies an increasingly prominent place in federal strategies for educational improvement. Flexibility assumes that local actors are in the best position to identify the most serious problems facing schools and students and to determine how to solve them. Consequently, these actors should be given greater decision-making authority to allocate resources, including federal funds, to the programs for which they will do the most good. This study focuses on the additional funding flexibility offered to all school districts via the Transferability provision of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Under Transferability, districts generally may transfer up to 50 percent of their initial formula allocations into and out of the following Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) programs: Title II, Part A (Improving Teacher Quality State Grants); Title II, Part D (Educational Technology State Grants); Title IV, Part A (Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities State Grants); and Title V, Part A (State Grants for Innovative Programs). There were five primary findings from this study: (1) nearly 16 percent of all school districts reported using Transferability, but conflicts between district and state reports suggest there was considerable confusion about this option; (2) districts exercising Transferability and those not utilizing this type of flexibility were similar demographically; (3) under Transferability, Title I, Part A, and Title V, Part A, received the greatest influx of transferred funds while districts also moved more money out of Title II, Part A, than any other program. (4) districts reallocated funds under Transferability in order to make adequate yearly progress (AYP); and (5) reduced funding and spending restrictions led many districts to use the Transferability provision, though not all. Some districts did not participate in Transferability because of perceived adequate existing flexibility, the amount of eligiblefunds, and insufficient information about Transferability. The following are appended: (1) Methodology; (2) Data Tables with Standard Errors; (3) District Survey; and (4) Transferability Authority District Interview Protocols. (Contains 24 exhibits.).
