Some experts and local administrators have advocated loosening federal requirements that are thought to potentially impede new or innovative instructional requirements. This report presents information on (1) the major federal requirements that affect school districts, (2) the issues that school districts face in implementing these requirements, and (3) the impact of the U.S. Dept. of Education's flexibility initiatives on school districts' ability to address these implementation issues.
