Section 9527 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 7907 ) is amended to read as follows: An officer or employee of the Federal Government shall not directly or indirectly, through grants, contracts, or other cooperative agreements under this Act (including through any waiver provided under the Secretary's authority pursuant to section 9401)— mandate, direct, or control a State, local educational agency, or school's specific instructional content, academic standards, assessments, curriculum, or program of instruction (including through any requirement, direction, or mandate to adopt the Common Core State Standards developed under the Common Core State Standards Initiative or any other academic standards common to a significant number of States); incentivize a State, local educational agency, or school to adopt any specific instructional content, academic standards, assessments, curriculum, or program of instruction as described in paragraph (1), which shall include providing any priority, preference, or special consideration during the application process based on any specific content, standards, assessments, curriculum, or program; mandate a State or any subdivision thereof to spend any funds or incur any costs not paid for under this Act; or make financial support available in a manner that is conditioned upon a State, local educational agency, or school's adoption of specific instructional content, academic standards, assessments, curriculum, or program of instruction, (including any requirement, direction, or mandate to adopt the Common Core State Standards developed under the Common Core State Standards Initiative, any other academic standards common to a significant number of States, or any assessment, instructional content, or curriculum aligned to such standards), even if such requirements are specified in section 14006 or 14007 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111–5; 123 Stat. 281) or any other Act.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize an officer or employee of the Federal Government directly or indirectly, whether through a grant, contract, or cooperative agreement (including through any waiver provided under the Secretary's authority pursuant to section 9401), to do any activity prohibited under subsection (a). Notwithstanding any other prohibition of Federal law, no funds provided to the Department under this Act may be used by the Department directly or indirectly, through grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements (including through any waiver provided under the Secretary's authority pursuant to section 9401), to endorse, approve, develop, require, or sanction any curriculum designed to be used in an elementary school or secondary school, including any curriculum aligned to the Common Core State Standards developed under the Common Core State Standards Initiative, or any other academic standards common to a significant number of States, designed to be used in an elementary school or secondary school.
Notwithstanding title I, part A of title VI, or any other provision of Federal law, no State shall be required to have academic standards approved or certified by the Federal Government, in order to receive assistance under this Act. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to mandate national school building standards for a State, local educational agency, or school. .
