The proposal would allow the Secretary of Education to give schools temporary relief from some of the paperwork requirements that come with special education laws, making it easier for schools to focus resources on teaching rather than filing forms. This flexibility would apply to schools serving students with disabilities under federal special education programs. The change would need approval from Congress before it could take effect.
