                        for general fund purposes; or
                            (ii) whose boundary is coterminous with the

                federally connected children described in section 
                8003(a)(1) in average daily attendance; and in fiscal 
                year 1997 had a tax rate for general fund purposes 
                which was at least 125 percent of the State average tax 
                rate for general fund purposes.
                    (C) Any eligible local educational agency that in 
                fiscal year 1997, which had at least 25,000 children in 
                average daily attendance, at least 50 percent federally 
                connected children described in section 8003(a)(1) in 
                average daily attendance, and at least 6,000 children 
                described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of section 
                8003(a)(1) in average daily attendance.
            (2) From the remaining $2,000,000 and any amounts available 
        after making payments under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall 
        then make supplemental payments to local educational agencies 
        that are not described in paragraph (1) of this subsection, but 
        that meet the requirements of paragraphs (2) and (4) of section 
        8003(f) of ESEA for fiscal year 2000.
            (3) After making payments to all eligible local educational 
        agencies described in paragraph (2) of subsection (a), the 
        Secretary shall use any remaining funds from paragraph (2) for 
        making payments to the eligible local educational agencies 
        described in paragraph (1) of subsection (a) if the amount 
        available under paragraph (1) is insufficient to fully fund all 
        eligible local educational agencies.
            (4) After making payments to all eligible local educational 
        agencies as described in paragraphs 1 through 3, the Secretary 
        shall use any remaining funds to increase basic support 
        payments under section 8003(b) for fiscal year 2000 for all 
        eligible applicants.
    (b) In calculating the amounts of supplemental payments for 
agencies described in subparagraphs (1)(A) and (B) and paragraph (2) of 
subsection (a), the Secretary shall use the formula contained in 
section 8003(b)(1)(C) of ESEA, except that--
            (1) eligible local educational agencies may count all 
        children described in section 8003(a)(1) in computing the 
        amount of those payments;
            (2) maximum payments for any of those agencies that use 
        local contribution rates identified in section 8003(b)(1)(C) 
        (i) or (ii) shall be computed by using four-fifths instead of 
        one-half of those rates;
            (3) the learning opportunity threshold percentage of all 
        such agencies under section 8003(b)(2)(B) shall be deemed to be 
        100;
            (4) for an eligible local educational agency with 35 
        percent or more of its children in average daily attendance 
        described in either subparagraph (D) or (E) of section 
        8003(a)(1) in fiscal year 1997, the weighted student unit 
        figure from its regular basic support payment shall be 
        recomputed by using a factor of 0.55 for such children;
            (5) for an eligible local educational agency with fewer 
        than 100 children in average daily attendance in fiscal year 
        1997, the weighted student unit figure from its regular basic 
        support payment shall be recomputed by multiplying the total 
        number of children described in section 8003(a)(1) by a factor 
        of 1.75; and
            (6) for an eligible local educational agency whose total 
        number of children in average daily attendance in fiscal year 
        1997 was at least 100, but fewer than 750, the weighted student 
        unit figure from its regular basic support payment shall be 
        recomputed by multiplying the total number of children 
        described in section 8003(a)(1) by a factor of 1.25.
    (c) For a local educational agency described in subsection 
(a)(1)(C) above, the Secretary shall use the formula contained in 
section 8003(b)(1)(C) of ESEA, except that the weighted student unit 
total from its regular basic support payment shall be recomputed by 
using a factor of 1.35 for children described in subparagraphs (A) and 
(B) of section 8003(a)(1) and its learning opportunity threshold 
percentage shall be deemed to be 100.
    (d) For each eligible local educational agency, the calculated 
supplemental section 8003(f) payment shall be reduced by subtracting 
the agency's fiscal year 2000 section 8003(b) basic support payment.
    (e) If the sums described in subsections (a)(1) and (2) above are 
insufficient to pay in full the calculated supplemental payments for 
the local educational agencies identified in those subsections, the 
Secretary shall ratably reduce the supplemental section 8003(f) payment 
to each local educational agency.

    Sec. 310. (a) From the amount appropriated for title VI of the

section, the Secretary of Education--(1) shall make available a total 
of $6,000,000 to the Secretary of the Interior (on behalf of the Bureau 
of Indian Affairs) and the outlying areas for activities under this 
section; and (2) shall allocate the remainder by providing each State 
the same percentage of that remainder as it received of the funds 
allocated to States under section 307(a)(2) of the Department of 
Education Appropriations Act, 1999.
    (b)(1) Each State that receives funds under this section shall 
distribute 100 percent of such funds to local educational agencies, of 
which--
            (A) 80 percent of such amount shall be allocated to such 
        local educational agencies in proportion to the number of 
        children, aged 5 to 17, who reside in the school district 
        served by such local educational agency from families with 
        incomes below the poverty line (as defined by the Office of 
        Management and Budget and revised annually in accordance with 
        section 673(2) of the Community Services Block Grant Act (42 
        U.S.C. 9902(2))) applicable to a family of the size involved 
        for the most recent fiscal year for which satisfactory data are 
        available compared to the number of such individuals who reside 
        in the school districts served by all the local educational 
        agencies in the State for that fiscal year; and
            (B) 20 percent of such amount shall be allocated to such 
        local educational agencies in accordance with the relative 
        enrollments of children, aged 5 to 17, in public and private 
        nonprofit elementary and secondary schools within the 
        boundaries of such agencies.
    (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), if the award to a local 
educational agency under this section is less than the starting salary 
for a new fully qualified teacher in that agency who is certified 
within the State (which may include certification through State or 
local alternative routes), has a baccalaureate degree, and demonstrates 
the general knowledge, teaching skills, and subject matter knowledge 
required to teach in his or her content areas, that agency may use 
funds under this section to (A) help pay the salary of a full- or part-
time teacher hired to reduce class size, which may be in combination 
with other Federal, State, or local funds; or (B) pay for activities 
described in subsection (c)(2)(A)(iii) which may be related to teaching 
in smaller classes.
    (c)(1) The basic purpose and intent of this section is to reduce 
class size with fully qualified teachers. Each local educational agency 
that receives funds under this section shall use such funds to carry 
out effective approaches to reducing class size with fully qualified 
teachers who are certified within the State, including teachers 
certified through State or local alternative routes, and who 
demonstrate competency in the areas in which they teach, to improve 
educational achievement for both regular and special needs children, 
with particular consideration given to reducing class size in the early 
elementary grades for which some research has shown class size 
reduction is most effective.
    (2)(A) Each such local educational agency may use funds under this 
section for
            (i) recruiting (including through the use of signing 
        bonuses, and other financial incentives), hiring, and training 
        fully qualified regular and special education teachers (which 
        may include hiring special education teachers to team-teach 
        with regular teachers in classrooms that contain both children 
        with disabilities and non-disabled children) and teachers of 
        special-needs children, who are certified within the State, 
        including teachers certified through State or local alternative 
        routes, have a baccalaureate degree and demonstrate the general 
        knowledge, teaching skills, and subject matter knowledge 
        required to teach in their content areas;
            (ii) testing new teachers for academic content knowledge, 
        and to meet State certification requirements that are 
        consistent with title II of the Higher Education Act of 1965; 
        and
            (iii) providing professional development (which may include 
        such activities as promoting retention and mentoring) to 
        teachers, including special education teachers and teachers of 
        special-needs children, in order to meet the goal of ensuring 
        that all instructional staff have the subject matter knowledge, 
        teaching knowledge, and teaching skills necessary to teach 
        effectively in the content area or areas in which they provide 
        instruction, consistent with title II of the Higher Education 
        Act of 1965.
    (B)(i) Except as provided under clause (ii) a local educational 
agency may use not more than a total of 25 percent of the award 
received under this section for activities described in clauses (ii) 
and (iii) of subparagraph (A).
    (ii) A local educational agency in an Ed-Flex Partnership State 
under Public Law 106-25, the Education Flexibility Partnership Act, and 
in which 10 percent or more of teachers in elementary schools as 
defined by section 14101(14) of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
Act of 1965 have not met applicable State and local certification 
requirements (including certification through State or local 
alternative routes), or if such requirements have been waived, may 
apply to the State educational agency for a waiver that would permit it 
to use more than 25 percent of the funds it receives under this section 
for activities described in subparagraph (A)(iii) for the purpose of 
helping teachers who have not met the certification requirements become 
certified.
    (iii) If the State educational agency approves the local 
educational agency's application for a waiver under clause (ii), the 
local educational agency may use the funds subject to the waiver for 
activities described in subparagraph (A)(iii) that are needed to ensure 
that at least 90 percent of the teachers in elementary schools are 
certified within the State.
    (C) A local educational agency that has already reduced class size 
in the early grades to 18 or less children (or has already reduced 
class size to a State or local class size reduction goal that was in 
effect on the day before the enactment of the Department of Education 
Appropriations Act, 2000, if that State or local educational agency 
goal is 20 or fewer children) may use funds received under this 
section--
            (i) to make further class size reductions in grades 
        kindergarten through 3;
            (ii) to reduce class size in other grades; or
            (iii) to carry out activities to improve teacher quality, 
        including professional development.
    (D) If a local educational agency has already reduced class size in 
the early grades to 18 or fewer children and intends to use funds 
provided under this section to carry out professional development 
activities, including activities to improve teacher quality, then the 
State shall make the award under subsection (b) to the local 
educational agency.
    (3) Each such agency shall use funds under this section only to 
supplement, and not to supplant, State and local funds that, in the 
absence of such funds, would otherwise be spent for activities under 
this section.
    (4) No funds made available under this section may be used to 
increase the salaries or provide benefits, other than participation in 
professional development and enrichment programs, to teachers who are 
not hired under this section. Funds under this section may be used to 
pay the salary of teachers hired under section 307 of the Department of 
Education Appropriations Act, 1999.
    (d)(1) Each State receiving funds under this section shall report 
on activities in the State under this section, consistent with section 
6202(a)(2) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
    (2) Each State and local educational agency receiving funds under 
this section shall publicly report to parents on its progress in 
reducing class size, increasing the percentage of classes in core 
academic areas taught by fully qualified teachers who are certified 
within the State and demonstrate competency in the content areas in 
which they teach, and on the impact that hiring additional highly 
qualified teachers and reducing class size, has had, if any, on 
increasing student academic achievement.
    (3) Each school receiving funds under this section shall provide to 
parents upon request, the professional qualifications of their child's 
teacher.
    (e) If a local educational agency uses funds made available under 
this section for professional development activities, the agency shall 
ensure for the equitable participation of private nonprofit elementary 
and secondary schools in such activities. Section 6402 of the 
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 shall not apply to other 
activities under this section.
    (f) Administrative Expenses.--A local educational agency that 
receives funds under this section may use not more than 3 percent of 
such funds for local administrative costs.
    (g) Request for Funds.--Each local educational agency that desires 
to receive funds under this section shall include in the application 
required under section 6303 of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
Act of 1965 a description of the agency's program to reduce class size 
by hiring additional highly qualified teachers.
    (h) No funds under this section may be used to pay the salary of 
any teacher hired with funds under section 307 of the Department of 
Education Appropriations Act, 1999, unless, by the start of the 2000-
2001 school year, the teacher is certified within the State (which may 
include certification through State or local alternative routes) and 
demonstrates competency in the subject areas in which he or she 
teaches.
    (i) Titles III and IV of the Goals 2000: Educate America Act are 
repealed on September 30, 2000.

 TITLE VI--EARLY DETECTION, DIAGNOSIS, AND INTERVENTIONS FOR NEWBORNS 
                     AND INFANTS WITH HEARING LOSS

    Sec. 601. (a) Definitions.--For the purposes of this section only, 
the following terms in this section are defined as follows:
            (1) Hearing screening.--Newborn and infant hearing 
        screening consists of objective physiologic procedures to 
        detect possible hearing loss and to identify newborns and 
        infants who, after rescreening, require further audiologic and 
        medical evaluations.
            (2) Audiologic evaluation.--Audiologic evaluation consists 
        of procedures to assess the status of the auditory system; to 
        establish the site of the auditory disorder; the type and 
        degree of hearing loss, and the potential effects of hearing 
        loss on communication; and to identify appropriate treatment 
        and referral options. Referral options should include linkage 
        to State IDEA part C coordinating agencies or other appropriate 
        agencies, medical evaluation, hearing aid/sensory aid 
        assessment, audiologic rehabilitation treatment, national and 
        local consumer, self-help, parent, and education organizations, 
        and other family-centered services.
            (3) Medical evaluation.--Medical evaluation by a physician 
        consists of key components including history, examination, and 
        medical decision making focused on symptomatic and related body 
        systems for the purpose of diagnosing the etiology of hearing 
        loss and related physical conditions, and for identifying 
        appropriate treatment and referral options.
            (4) Medical intervention.--Medical intervention is the 
        process by which a physician provides medical diagnosis and 
        direction for medical and/or surgical treatment options of 
        hearing loss and/or related medical disorder associated with 
        hearing loss.
            (5) Audiologic rehabilitation.--Audiologic rehabilitation 
        (intervention) consists of procedures, techniques, and 
        technologies to facilitate the receptive and expressive 
        communication abilities of a child with hearing loss.
            (6) Early intervention.--Early intervention (e.g., 
        nonmedical) means providing appropriate services for the child 
        with hearing loss and ensuring that families of the child are 
        provided comprehensive, consumer-oriented information about the 
        full range of family support, training, information services, 
        communication options and are given the opportunity to consider 
        the full range of educational and program placements and 
        options for their child.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are to clarify the 
authority within the Public Health Service Act to authorize statewide 
newborn and infant hearing screening, evaluation and intervention 
programs and systems, technical assistance, a national applied research 
program, and interagency and private sector collaboration for policy 
development, in order to assist the States in making progress toward 
the following goals:
            (1) All babies born in hospitals in the United States and 
        its territories should have a hearing screening before leaving 
        the birthing facility. Babies born in other countries and 
        residing in the United States via immigration or adoption 
        should have a hearing screening as early as possible.
            (2) All babies who are not born in hospitals in the United 
        States and its territories should have a hearing screening 
        within the first 3 months of life.
            (3) Appropriate audiologic and medical evaluations should 
        be conducted by 3 months for all newborns and infants suspected 
        of having hearing loss to allow appropriate referral and 
        provisions for audiologic rehabilitation, medical and early 
        intervention before the age of 6 months.
            (4) All newborn and infant hearing screening programs and 
        systems should include a component for audiologic 
        rehabilitation, medical and early intervention options that 
        ensures linkage to any new and existing statewide systems of 
        intervention and rehabilitative services for newborns and 
        infants with hearing loss.
            (5) Public policy in regard to newborn and infant hearing 
        screening and intervention should be based on applied research 
        and the recognition that newborns, infants, toddlers, and 
        children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing have unique language, 
        learning, and communication needs, and should be the result of 
        consultation with pertinent public and private sectors.
    (c) Statewide Newborn and Infant Hearing Screening, Evaluation and 
Intervention Programs and Systems.--Under the existing authority of the 
Public Health Service Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services 
(in this section referred to as the ``Secretary''), acting through the 
Administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration, 
shall make awards of grants or cooperative agreements to develop 
statewide newborn and infant hearing screening, evaluation and 
intervention programs and systems for the following purposes:
            (1) To develop and monitor the efficacy of statewide 
        newborn and infant hearing screening, evaluation and 
        intervention programs and systems. Early intervention includes 
        referral to schools and agencies, including community, 
        consumer, and parent-based agencies and organizations and other 
        programs mandated by part C of the Individuals with 
        Disabilities Education Act, which offer programs specifically 
        designed to meet the unique language and communication needs of 
        deaf and hard-of-hearing newborns, infants, toddlers, and 
        children.
            (2) To collect data on statewide newborn and infant hearing 
        screening, evaluation and intervention programs and systems 
        that can be used for applied research, program evaluation and 
        policy development.
    (d) Technical Assistance, Data Management, and Applied Research.--
            (1) Centers for disease control and prevention.--Under the 
        existing authority of the Public Health Service Act, the 
        Secretary, acting through the Director of the Centers for 
        Disease Control and Prevention, shall make awards of grants or 
        cooperative agreements to provide technical assistance to State 
        agencies to complement an intramural program and to conduct 
        applied research related to newborn and infant hearing 
        screening, evaluation and intervention programs and systems. 
        The program shall develop standardized procedures for data 
        management and program effectiveness and costs, such as--
                    (A) to ensure quality monitoring of newborn and 
                infant hearing loss screening, evaluation, and 
                intervention programs and systems;

                and infant hearing screening, evaluation and 
                intervention programs and systems conducted by State-
                based programs in order to answer issues of importance 
                to State and national policymakers;
                    (D) to identify the causes and risk factors for 
                congenital hearing loss;
                    (E) to study the effectiveness of newborn and 
                infant hearing screening, audiologic and medical
