Specifically You ,re- quested information related to the denial of fiscal year 1975 funds to Independent School District #1 of Tulsa County, Oklahoma. The primary issues raised in you. letter and in later discussions with representatives of this Office concerned whether the Office of Education met its responsibilities under section 710(d)(2) of the act, which states: The Assistant Secretary shall nct finally disapprove in whole or In part any applicatlon for funds Pub- mitted by a local educational agency without first notifying the local educational agency of the specific reasons for his disapproval and without affording the agency an appropriate opportunity to modify its appli- cation. Since we received your letter, the school district has filed suit against the Department, claiming that its actions in not approving the application violated section 710(d)(2).
