Allegation occurs of misconduct, we investigate it. And as agent sullivan or director sullivan specified, one of the things that occurs on many investigations is the investigation does not find any wrongdoing. When it does, we take appropriate followup action to hold the employee accountable. Well, i would like to point out that this is not the only affidavit like this. There are several others. And you know, were not going to release them, not going to enter them into the record or use their names at this time. But do you believe it is appropriate for the epa personnel to pressure and intimidate citizens into endorsing the epas agenda . Congressman, im not familiar with the specifics that youre referring to.

This is our third of six hearings to discuss the implementation of the every student succeed act which the president signed in december.

And in my view, they earned an f. The reason for that is that the regulation violates the law as implemented since 1970 and seeks to do it in a way that specifically prohibited it in the new law. In writing the new law last Year Congress debated and ultimately c
Congress chose to leave unchanged a provision of culpability. This provision says School Districts have to provide at least Comparable Services with state and local funding to title i schools and nontitle i schools, but the law plainly states the School Districts shall not include teacher pay when they measure spending for of comparability. That has been the law since 1970. We didnt change it last year. There is an entirely separate provision known as provision, not supplant, that prohibits schools from using dollars for lowincome schools. Attempts to do is to change comparability by adding a new regulation. It would include teacher salaries and how they measure state and local spending and would require the state and local spending anys title i school be at least equal to the average spent in nontitle i schools. This would be to violate the law as implemented since 1976 section 1605. The Administration May get an a for cleverness, but untapped for following the line my opinion. The ne
