education as a human enterprise;

and resources for the common good in keeping with their
designated legislative and executive powers.

SEC. 3. APPROPRIATE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO VIOLATIONS OF FEDERAL LAW
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

(a) Requirements for Relief.--
(1) Prospective relief.--
(A) Prospective relief in any civil action with
respect to violations of Federal law in the public
schools shall extend no further than necessary to
correct the violation of the Federal right of a
particular plaintiff or plaintiffs. The court shall not
grant or approve any prospective relief unless the
court finds that such relief is narrowly drawn, extends
no further than necessary to correct the violation of
the Federal right, and is the least intrusive means
necessary to correct the violation of the Federal
right. The court shall give substantial weight to any
adverse impact on other students or the school
community as a whole caused by the relief.
(B) The court shall not order any prospective
relief that requires or permits a government official
to exceed his or her authority under State or local law
or otherwise violates State or local law, unless--
(i) Federal law requires such relief to be
ordered in violation of State or local law;
(ii) the relief is necessary to correct the
violation of a Federal right; and
(iii) no other relief will correct the
violation of the Federal right.
(2) Preliminary injunctive relief.--In any civil action
with respect to violations of Federal law in the public
schools, to the extent otherwise authorized by law, the court
may enter a temporary restraining order or an order for
preliminary injunctive relief. Preliminary injunctive relief
must be narrowly drawn, extend no further than necessary to
correct the harm the court finds requires preliminary relief,
and be the least intrusive means necessary to correct that
harm. The court shall give substantial weight to any adverse
impact on other students or the school community as a whole
caused by the preliminary relief and shall respect the
principles of comity set out in paragraph (1)(B) in tailoring
any preliminary relief. Preliminary injunctive relief shall
automatically expire on the date that is 90 days after its
entry, unless the court makes the findings required under
subsection (a)(1) for the entry of prospective relief and makes
the order final before the expiration of the 90-day period.
(b) Termination of Relief.--
(1) Termination of prospective relief.--
(A) In any civil action with respect to violations
of Federal law in the public schools in which
prospective relief is ordered, such relief shall be
terminable upon the motion of any party or intervener--
(i) 2 years after the date the court
granted or approved the prospective relief;
(ii) 1 year after the date the court has
entered an order denying termination of
prospective relief under this paragraph; or
(iii) in the case of an order issued on or
before the date of enactment of the Restoring
Authority to Schools Act (enacted ____ __,
2004), 2 years after such date of enactment.
(B) Nothing in this section shall prevent the
parties from agreeing to terminate or modify relief
before the relief is terminated under subparagraph (A).
(2) Immediate termination of prospective relief.--In any
civil action with respect to violations of Federal law in the
public schools, a defendant or intervener shall be entitled to
the immediate termination of any prospective relief if the
relief was approved or granted in the absence of a finding by
the court that the relief is narrowly drawn, extends no further
than necessary to correct the violation of the Federal right,
and is the least intrusive means necessary to correct the
violation of the Federal right.
(3) Limitation.--Prospective relief shall not terminate if
the court makes written findings based on the record that
prospective relief remains necessary to correct a current and
ongoing violation of the Federal right, extends no further than
necessary to correct the violation of the Federal right, and
that the prospective relief is narrowly drawn and the least
intrusive means to correct the violation.
(4) Termination or modification of relief.--Nothing in this
section shall prevent any party or intervener from seeking
modification or termination before the relief is terminable
under paragraph (1) or (2), to the extent that modification or
termination would otherwise be legally permissible.
(c) Settlements.--
(1) Consent decrees.--In any civil action with respect to
violations of Federal law in the public schools, the court
shall not enter or approve a consent decree unless it complies
with the limitations on relief set forth in subsection (a).
(2) Private settlement agreements.--
(A) Nothing in this section shall preclude parties
from entering into a private settlement agreement that
does not comply with the limitations on relief set
forth in subsection (a), if the terms of that agreement
are not subject to court enforcement other than the
reinstatement of the civil proceeding that the
agreement settled.
(B) Nothing in this section shall preclude any
party claiming that a private settlement agreement has
been breached from seeking in State court any remedy
available under State law.
(d) State Law Remedies.--The limitations on remedies in this
section shall not apply to relief entered by a State court based solely
upon claims arising under State law.
(e) Procedure for Motions Affecting Prospective Relief.--
(1) Generally.--The court shall promptly rule on any motion
to modify or terminate prospective relief in a civil action
with respect to violations of Federal law in the public
schools. Mandamus shall lie to remedy any failure to issue a
prompt ruling on such a motion.
(2) Automatic stay.--Any motion to modify or terminate
prospective relief made under subsection (b) shall operate as a
stay during the period--
(A)(i) beginning on the 30th day after such motion
is filed, in the case of a motion made under paragraph
(1) or (2) of subsection (b); or
(ii) beginning on the 180th day after such motion
is filed, in the case of a motion made under any other
law; and
(B) ending on the date the court enters a final
order ruling on the motion.
(3) Postponement of automatic stay.--The court may postpone
the effective date of an automatic stay specified in subsection
(e)(2)(A) for not more than 60 days for good cause. No
postponement shall be permissible because of general congestion
of the court's calendar.
(4) Order blocking the automatic stay.--Any order staying,
suspending, delaying, or barring the operation of the automatic
stay described in paragraph (2) (other than an order to
postpone the effective date of the automatic stay under
paragraph (3)) shall be treated as an order refusing to
dissolve or modify an injunction and shall be appealable
pursuant to section 1292(a)(1) of title 28, United States Code,
regardless of how the order is styled or whether the order is
termed a preliminary or a final ruling.
(f) Special Masters.--
(1) In general.--
(A) In any civil action in a Federal court with
respect to violations of Federal law in the public
schools, the court may appoint a special master who
shall be disinterested and objective and who will give
due regard to balancing the needs of the school
community as a whole against the requested relief, to
conduct hearings on the record and prepare proposed
findings of fact.
(B) The court shall appoint a special master under
this subsection during the remedial phase of the action
only upon a finding that the remedial phase will be
sufficiently complex to warrant the appointment.
(2) Appointment.--
(A) If the court determines that the appointment of
a special master is necessary, the court shall request
that the defendant State officials and the plaintiff
each submit a list of not more than 5 persons to serve
as a special master.

up to 3 persons from the opposing party's list.

persons remaining on the list after the operation of

to an interlocutory appeal of the judge's selection of the

partiality.

special master under this section shall be based on an hourly
rate not greater than the hourly rate established under section
3006A for payment of court-appointed counsel, plus costs
reasonably incurred by the special master. Such compensation
and costs shall be paid with funds appropriated to the
Judiciary.
(5) Regular review of appointment.--In any civil action
with respect to violations of Federal law in the public schools
in which a special master is appointed under this subsection,
the court shall review the appointment of the special master
every 6 months to determine whether the services of the special
master continue to be required under paragraph (1). In no event
shall the appointment of a special master extend beyond the
termination of the relief.
(6) Limitations on powers and duties.--A special master

(A) may be authorized by a court to conduct
hearings and prepare proposed findings of fact, which
shall be made on the record;
