34 CFR PART 98—PROTECTION OF PUPIL RIGHTS AMENDMENT

Below are the regulations at 34 CFR Part 98 implementing section 445 of the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA)(20 U.S.C. 1232h), which is commonly referred to as the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA).  These regulations can also be found at the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations: Title 34, Part 98--Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment

Since the enactment of  these regulations in September 1984, there have been significant amendments to section 445 of GEPA by the  No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) passed in 2002, Pub. L. 107-110, and by Goals 2000:  Educate America Act, Pub. L. 103-227, passed in 1994.  The regulations do not reflect these most recent amendments to PPRA, and certain provisions in the current regulations are superseded by these statutory amendments.  The current statute can be found at https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2010-title20/pdf/USCODE-2010-title20-chap31-subchapIII-part4-sec1232h.pdf
