In 1988, P.L. 100-297 authorized the State Department of Education to establish a Title I Committee of Practitioners (COP). In accordance with this statute, the committee is to be composed of administrators, teachers, parents, representatives of non-public school children and representatives of neglected and delinquent institutions. The law requires all major proposed or final rules or regulations issued by the state be reviewed by the Committee of Practitioners. Beginning in FY1998, the COP became a cross programmatic committee. Under NCLB, renamed ESSA, the COP covers all ESSA programs that are in the Consolidated Plan.
