Federal Relations
The United States Senate and House
of Representatives affect local public elementary and secondary education through major legislation
such as the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) and the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The United
States Department of Education administers these and other major federal education programs.
