Tomorrow the U.S. House Education and Workforce Committee will hold a hearing to discuss the burden on K-12 and higher education institutions casued by federal education regulations.

The hearing, titled “Education Regulations: Weighing the Burden on Schools and Students” will feature testimony from the Council of Chief State School Officers, Loudoun County Public Schools, St. John’s College, and The Education Trust.

According to the Committee, this meeting is intended to “examine the scope of federal education mandates, including data collection requirements and paperwork burdens, and analyze how compliance with these mandates creates unnecessary hurdles for K-12 schools, colleges, and universities.”
