U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has announced that she is withdrawing still more of what the U.S. Department of Education called "out-of-date" guidance and other documents involving schools' approaches to various issues, some of them stemming back more than a decade.
The Friday announcement rescinds guidance documents from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, covering areas such as the now-defunct School Improvement Program, flexibility from the now-replaced No Child Left Behind Act, using Title I funds for schoolwide purposes, and other matters. The documents date from 1996 to 2015.
Importantly, however, the Trump administration did not appear to scrap the Obama administration's Every Student Succeeds Act guidance on areas like evidence-based interventions for low-performing schools, and the Student Support and Academic Enrichment grants, better known as Title IV of ESSA. As of mid-day Friday, the department had not released any documents it was rescinding from the department's office for civil rights.

"Out of date"

Are federally issued fatwa's ever anything but out of date?
