| IL | Signed into law 07/2010 | P-12 | Establishes a state grant program that parallels and supplements, but operates independently of, the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act to facilitate the enrollment, attendance and success of homeless children and youth. Subject to appropriation, requires the state board of education to award competitive grants under an Education of Homeless Children and Youth State Grant Program to applicant school districts. Specifies that services provided through the use of grant funds may not replace the regular academic program and must expand upon or improve services provided for homeless students as part of the school's regular academic program. Provides that grants must be awarded on the basis of district need and the quality of the applications submitted. Identifies criteria the state board may consider in determining district "need" and the quality of applications.
Provides that grants must be for terms not to exceed 3 years, but are subject to annual appropriation. Requires districts to use funds only for those activities set forth in the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act of 1987. Authorizes the state board to use up to 5% of funds appropriated for administrative costs, including the hiring of positions for the implementation and administration of the grant program, provided that if no appropriation is made to the state board for a given fiscal year for the grant program, then the state board is not required to make any expenditures in support of the program during that fiscal year.

Revises provisions addressing the public school enrollment of homeless children to reflect the definitions and requirements set forth in the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Improvements Act of 2001---law that is included within the federal No Child Left Behind Act. School divisions are to coordinate the provision of services to such homeless students with relevant local social services agencies and other agencies and programs providing services to such students, and with other school divisions as may be necessary to resolve interdivisional issues. The measure also provides that superintendents cannot exclude from school attendance those homeless children who do not provide the requisite health or immunization information required of other students and deletes the outdated mumps immunization exemption. However, the student must be immediately referred to the local school division liaison who is required to assist the student in obtaining the necessary physical examinations or proof or completion of immunizations. Technical amendments delete references to "guardian" includes guardians, legal custodians, and other persons having "control or charge of a child" within the definition of "parent" throughout Title 22.1. http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?041+ful+CHAP0500

| VT | Signed into law 06/2003 | P-12 | This act clarifies that the state board of education is authorized to administer federal education funds available under the No Child Left Behind Act; for the next two years, authorizes the commissioner of education to make an annual, instead of biennial, determination as to whether each Vermont school is meeting quality standards and to implement certain consequences for low performing schools after two years instead of four years; stipulates that for the next school year, a homeless child may be educated in the school of origin despite Vermont law that stipulates that a homeless child shall be educated where the child is living; and establishes a committee to oversee implementation of the federal No Child Left Behind Act. http://www.leg.state.vt.us/docs/legdoc.cfm?URL=/docs/2004/acts/ACT064.HTM The general assembly finds that: the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001(NCLB), has the potential to dramatically change the way education services are provided in Vermont; (2) Implementation of NCLB could have a major impact on the revenues of the state and the cost of education to Vermont taxpayers. NCLB provides the state of Vermont with over $50 million in federal funds for fiscal year 2004, most of which is the consolidation of past federal aid programs. It is unclear whether federal funds will be enough to implement the provisions of the Act with some estimates indicating the potential for large unfunded mandates at both the state and local levels; and (3) Without legislative oversight, virtually all decisions regarding how the act will be implemented could be made by the state board of education as it is the agency charged with working with the federal government to align Vermont's education system with provisions of federal law. Therefore, it is the intent of the general assembly to establish a no child left behind oversight committee for the purpose of:
(1) reviewing any NCLB–related request for proposal process. It is the intent of the general assembly that the department of education shall consider approaching other states prior to issuing an NCLB–related request for proposal to determine if a joint contract would be more cost effective; (2) receiving notification of any NCLB–related contract, grant agreement, amended contract, or amended grant agreement of greater than $10,000.00 prior to awarding any funds under the contract or grant agreement; (3) developing a process for reviewing significant state board or commissioner of education decisions regarding implementation of NCLB; (4) reviewing information about technical assistance that the department of education is providing to Vermont schools and school districts regarding implementation of NCLB; (5) proposing recommendations to the state board and commissioner of education and the legislature about any future decisions regarding implementation of NCLB; (6) by December 15, 2003, proposing recommendations to the senate and house committees on education and appropriations to ensure that neither the state nor local school districts will incur costs to implement NCLB other than those funded by the federal government; and (7) receiving reports from the commissioner of education on his or her best estimate of the costs of implementing NCLB at the state level in January of 2004 and 2005.
