On January 8, 2002,  President George W. Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Part of  No Child Left Behind is the Boy Scouts of  America Equal Access Act, Section 9525 of the Elementary and  Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by Section 901 of the No Child Left  Behind Act of 2001 (the Boy Scouts Act), which applies to public elementary and  secondary schools, local educational agencies (LEAs), and State educational  agencies (SEAs) that receive Federal funds made available through the  Department of Education. Under the Boy Scouts Act, which became effective on  January 8, 2002, no such public school, LEA or SEA that provides an opportunity  for one or more outside youth or community groups to meet on school premises or  in school facilities shall deny equal access or a fair opportunity to meet to,  or discriminate against, any group officially affiliated with the Boy Scouts of  America, or any other youth group listed in Title 36 of  the United States Code as a patriotic society, that wishes to meet at the  school.    OCR is charged with  enforcing the Boy Scouts of America Equal Access Act. Complaints alleging  violations of this law may be filed using the OCR online complaint  form or by contacting the OCR office with authority to handle complaints where the institution or entity you are  complaining about is located.
