In Oregon, our plan was developed by the State legislature. Other States have gone through similar processes sometimes pursuant to a court order. In some States, State boards of education working through powers delegated by legislators have also implemented reform efforts. If a State developed a plan through such processes, am I correct in my interpretation that such a plan would be considered to be developed with ``broad-based input'' as stated in this bill? Is it intended that legislatively enacted plans would usually be acceptable to the Secretary?
