Proposed rules
The Education Department has published proposed rules implementing new statutory requirements earmarking some training funds under the Eisenhower Mathematics and Science Education Program for teachers in elementary and middle schools, and requiring school districts with small grants to form consortia. The department has also proposed requiring that applications describe how grantees will ensure the quality and intensity of programs. The notice appeared in the Oct. 22 Federal Register; comments are due by Nov. 21.
