What is a significant rule?

Significant regulatory action is a term used to describe an agency rule that has had or might have a large impact on the economy, environment, public health, or state or local governments. These actions may also conflict with other rules or presidential priorities. As part of its role in the regulatory review process, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) determines which rules meet this definition.

The Innovation for Teacher Quality rule is a significant rule issued by the U.S. Department of Education effective September 15, 2005, that amended department regulations concerning eligibility for the Troops-to-Teachers program, which aimed to help eligible members of the Armed Forces earn teacher certifications and find employment in public schools. The Trump administration rescinded the rule in 2018 and the Troops-to-Teachers program was transferred to the Department of Defense.[1][2]

    Title II of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, which was amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLBA), reauthorized the Troops-to-Teachers program. The NCLBA aimed to support standards-based education reform drawn from the philosophy that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals for schools would improve individual outcomes for public school students. The legislation mandated that states develop standardized tests and administer assessments to all students at certain grade levels in order to receive federal funding.[4][1]

    The Troops-to-Teachers program was established by the Clinton administration in 1994 in an effort to "improve public school education by introducing the skills and experience of military service members into high-poverty schools." The program aimed to provide financial assistance to eligible members of the Armed Forces to earn a teacher certification and also assisted participants with finding employment in public schools. The program was reauthorized by the NCLBA, which prompted the Department of Education to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking on January 14, 2005, to align regulations with the provisions of the act.[3][5]

    The rule was rescinded by the Trump administration on March 5, 2018, after the administration of the Troops-to-Teachers program was transferred to the Department of Defense.[2]

    Summary of the rule

    The following is a summary of the rule from the rule's entry in the Federal Register:

    “ The Secretary issues regulations prescribing criteria to be used in selecting eligible members of the Armed Forces to participate in the Troops-to-Teachers program and receive financial assistance. These regulations implement section 2303(c) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (Act). The regulations also define the terms “high-need local educational agency” (high-need LEA) and “public charter school” in which a participant must agree to be employed under section 2304(a)(1)(B) of the Act. In addition, the regulations define the term “children from families with income below the poverty line” which is used in the definition of high-need LEA.[1][6] ”

    Summary of provisions

    The following is a summary of the provisions from the final rule's entry in the Federal Register:[1]

    “ These regulations implement section 2303(c) of Title II, Part C, Subpart 1, Chapter A of the Act, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) (Pub. L. 107-110), enacted January 8, 2002. Subpart 1, Transitions to Teaching, of Chapter A authorizes the Troops-to-Teachers program. This program provides assistance, including stipends of up to $5,000, to eligible members of the Armed Forces so that they can obtain certification or licensing as elementary school teachers, secondary school teachers, or vocational/technical teachers and become highly qualified teachers. In addition, the program helps participants find employment in high-need LEAs or public charter schools.


    With respect to participation agreements under section 2304(a)(1)(B) of the Act signed on or after September 15, 2005, only full-time employment in a “high-need LEA” or “public charter school” as defined in 34 CFR 230.2 will satisfy the Act's service requirement. Participation agreements signed prior to September 15, 2005 are not subject to the new definitions.
    On January 14, 2005 the Secretary published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this program in the Federal Register (70 FR 2582). The NPRM proposed regulations implementing section 2303(c)(1) of the Act, which directs the Secretary to prescribe criteria to be used to select eligible members of the Armed Forces to participate in the program. The NPRM also proposed regulations to resolve an ambiguity in the Act regarding the definitions of a “high-need local educational agency” and “public charter school.”[6]
