On the recordMarch 24, 1994
I would like to clarify that a State could utilize the waiver provisions under Part D of Title IX for purposes of obtaining waivers of requirements under Subpart 2 of Part D of Title I--Improved Education for Disadvantaged Children. It has come to my attention that there are States which have a system for the incarceration of delinquent youth which would not make the operation of the local program authorized under this subpart feasible. In such instances, I believe States should be able to apply for and receive a waiver. It has never been my intention to change the way States and localities deal with the incarceration of delinquent children and youth. Rather, I meant to improve the quality and kinds of services provided to delinquent youth in order to enhance the prospects of their return to and successful completion of school.
