U.S. Department of Education,
Office of Elementary and Secondary
Education.
ACTION: Notice of establishment of 10
Regional Advisory Committees.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Secretary of
Education (Secretary) announces the
establishment of ten Regional Advisory
Committees (RACs). The Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (Pub.
L. 92–463, as amended; 5 U.S.C.,
Appendix) shall govern the RACs.
SUMMARY:
Purpose
The Secretary is establishing the
RACS in order to collect information on
the educational needs of each of the ten
regions served by the Regional
Educational Laboratories. The RACs
will seek input regarding the need for
the technical assistance activities
described in section 203 of the
Educational Technical Assistance Act
and how those needs would be most
effectively addressed. In order to
achieve this purpose, the RACs will
seek input from chief executive officers
of States; chief State school officers;
educators, including teachers and
administrators; local educational
agencies; librarians; businesses; State
educational agencies; parents; and other
customers within each region.
Not later than six months after each
RAC is convened, the committee will
submit a report based on this needs
assessment to the Secretary. Each report
will identify the educational needs of
the region and how those needs would
be most effectively addressed. The
Secretary will establish priorities for the
comprehensive centers to address,
taking into account these regional
assessments and other relevant regional
surveys of educational needs, to the
extent the Secretary deems appropriate.
