Title: Improving the Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged, Subpart C--Migrant Education Programs

Abstract: These regulations would contain requirements for the Migrant Student Information Exchange, a congressionally mandated, electronic, national exchange mechanism for records of migrant students, and would establish requirements for a State educational agency's receipt of Migrant Education Program funds.

Title: Magnet Schools Assistance Program

Abstract: The Secretary amends the regulations governing the Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP) to provide greater flexibility to school districts designing MSAP programs for the fiscal year (FY) 2010 grant competition. These changes remove provisions in the regulations that require districts to use binary racial classifications and prohibit the creation of magnetschools that result in minority group enrollments in magnet and feeder schools exceeding the district-wide average of minority group students. This new flexibility is necessary to permit school districts interested in receiving funds under this program to determine how best to meet program requirements while also complying with U.S. Supreme Court case law, in particular the Court's decision in Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No 1 et al., 551 U.S. 701 (2007).

Title: Student Rights in Research, Experimental Programs, and Testing

Abstract: These regulations are needed to implement amendments to section 445 of the General Education Provisions Act, as amended--commonly referred to as the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA)--resulting from (1) section 1017 of the Goals 2000 Educate America Act (Pub. L. 103-227; 20 U.S.C. 1232h) and (2) legislation passed as part of section 1061 of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) (Pub. L. 107-110). Section 1017 of Goals 2000 amended PPRA to remove or amend certain terminology, to add a requirement that schools provide to parents effective notice of their rights under PPRA, and to include an enforcement provision. Amendments made to PPRA by NCLB specify certain subjects on which local educational agencies, in consultation with parents, must develop and adopt policies. The NCLB added another protected subject area ("religious practices, affiliations, or beliefs of the student or student's parent") to the list of subjects that cannot be revealed if a student is required to submit without parental consent to a "survey, analysis or evaluation" funded by the U.S. Department of Education or, in the case of a survey not funded by the Department, without notifying parents and providing them with an opportunity to opt out. These amendments also require local educational agencies to directly notify parents of these policies and permit parents to opt out of certain activities. As our next action, we will issue a new NPRM incorporating the amendments resulting from NCLB, as well as the earlier amendments resulting from the Goals 2000 Educate America Act.

Title: Family Educational Rights and Privacy

Abstract: The Secretary is proposing these regulations under section 444 of the General Education Provisions Act, which is also known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (FERPA).
