MO HR269

Missouri House Resolution urges the state's Congressional delegation to repeal Code of Federal Regulations Rule 200 modifications that restrict states' authority over academic achievement standards for special needs students

CFR Rule 200 modifications prohibited states from defining modified academic achievement standards unless they administered alternate assessments in 2012-13, and terminated state authority at the end of the 2013-14 school year

Resolution cites multiple federal statutes (20 U.S.C. 9526, 9527, 9529) that prohibit federal officers from mandating, directing, or controlling state and local education curriculum, instruction, and standards

Resolution asserts the U.S. Department of Education violated the No Child Left Behind Act by enacting regulations that remove local control over special needs student education
