Such systems should continue to include robust choice for parents through a mixed delivery system of services so parents can determine the right early learning and child care option for their children. States, while protecting the rights of early learning and child care providers, retain the right to make decisions that shall include the age at which to set compulsory attendance in school, the content of a State’s early learning guidelines, and how to determine quality in programs.","path":["Title 20—EDUCATION","CHAPTER 70—STRENGTHENING AND IMPROVEMENT OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS"],"source_url":"https://uscode.house.gov/download/releasepoints/us/pl/119/103/xml_usc20@119-103.zip","current_through":"Public Law 119-103 (09/02/2026)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-10T05:57:47Z","sha256":"231966e42a10aab8ffe5e26e314d5757d1b4ad74d8091768b8c06310bb41d1e0","source_id":"us","stale":true,"prev":"us/20-u.s.c.-7930","next":"us/20-u.s.c.-7932"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
