Waiver Request: Waiver of section 421(b) of the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA) (Tydings Amendment) as it affects the authority of the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and its sub-recipients to obligate School Improvement funds beyond their current expiration.
The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) is seeking the following waiver from the U.S. Department of Education. ISBE hopes that by soliciting this waiver from the U.S. Department of Education, students of Illinois will be better served.
- Waive the period of availability of funds under state-administered Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) programs, specifically those funds appropriated under the School Improvement Program. The extended authority to obligate these funds would enable ISBE and its sub-recipients to increase the quality of instruction for students, improve their academic achievement, and continue to assist the same populations served by the programs for which this waiver is being requested in accordance with applicable program requirements.
ISBE encourages interested parties to review the complete waiver at: http://www.isbe.net/nclb/pdfs/waiver_request_sec421_031512.pdf. Comments or questions on this waiver were due by March 27, 2012.
