Has zero input over curricula. Never have had any.They can recommend curricula goals, but they cannot require, never mind enforce, any of them.

They're about things like assisting schools with funding for things like educating children with disabilities, college financial aid programs and research. They also oversee prohibiting discrimination and tracking how schools are doing on assorted metrics.

But they have never had any say about what states can teach or how.
