Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Principles of federalism embodied in the Constitution of the United States entrust authority over issues of educational policy to the States and the people and a Department of Education is inconsistent with such principles. (2) Tradition and experience dictate that the governance and management of schools in the United States are best performed by parents, teachers, and communities. (3) The intrusion by the Department of Education into education policy has not benefitted the quality of education in this Nation. (4) The Department of Education has weakened the ability of parents to make essential decisions about their children’s education and has undermined the capacity of communities to govern their schools. (5) In the 35 years of its existence, the Department of Education has grown from 130 programs and a budget of $14 billion to over 230 separately authorized programs which cost nearly $70 billion annually. Meanwhile, education performance has deteriorated. (6) The Department of Education has fostered over-regulation, standardization, bureaucratization, and litigation in United States education. (7) The Department of Education expends large amounts of money on its own maintenance and overhead. As an organization, it is inefficient, ill managed, and wasteful. (8) Recent tests reflect poor results in mathematics and reading for American students compared with students from other nations. (9) Only through initiatives led by parents and local communities with the power to act can the United States elevate educational performance toward an acceptable level. (10) The Department of Education has been hostile to many promising reform ideas. I Title I portability 101. Title I portability Part A of title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 6311 et seq. ) is amended by adding at the end the following: 1128. State option to allow title I funds to follow the low-income child (a) In general Notwithstanding any other provision of law and to the extent permitted under State law, a State educational agency may allocate grant funds received under this part among the local educational agencies in the State based on the number of eligible children enrolled in the public schools operated by each local educational agency and State-accredited private schools within each local educational agency’s geographic jurisdiction. (b) Eligible child (1) Definition In this section, the term eligible child means a child from a family with an income below the poverty level on the basis of the most recent satisfactory data published by the Department of Commerce. (2) Criteria of poverty In determining the families with incomes below the poverty level for the purposes of this section, a State educational agency shall use the criteria of poverty used by the Census Bureau in compiling the most recent decennial census, as the criteria have been updated by increases in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. (c) Student enrollment in public and private schools (1) Identification of eligible children On an annual basis, on a date to be determined by the State educational agency, each local educational agency that receives grant funding in accordance with subsection (a) shall inform the State educational agency of the number of eligible children enrolled in public schools served by the local educational agency and State-accredited private schools within each local educational agency’s geographic jurisdiction. (2) Allocation to local educational agencies Based on the identification of eligible children in paragraph (1), the State educational agency shall provide to a local educational agency grant funds the State educational agency received under this part in an amount equal to the sum of the amount available for each eligible child in the State, as determined by the Secretary, multiplied by the number of eligible children identified by the local educational agency under paragraph (1). (3) Distribution to schools Each local educational agency that receives funds under paragraph (2) shall distribute such funds to the public schools served by the local educational agency and State-accredited private schools within each local educational agency’s geographic jurisdiction— (A) based on the number of eligible children enrolled in such schools; and (B) in a manner that would, in the absence of such Federal funds, supplement the funds made available from non-Federal resources for the education of pupils participating in programs under this part, and not to supplant such funds. .
