§14 [education.]

Summary

It removes Hawaii from many federal education lists and rules and changes some wording about the "United States" in school funding laws. For certain funding formulas that used the phrase "continental United States," those words are replaced with "United States." While the government waits for a full year of per‑person income data for Alaska from the Department of Commerce, some funding decisions will treat "United States" as the continental United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii). Once a full year of Alaska data exists, future funding decisions will treat "United States" as the fifty States and the District of Columbia. If only one or two years of Alaska data are available, the funding ratios may be based on whatever one- or two‑year data exist. It cancels the March 10, 1924 law that extended Smith‑Hughes vocational benefits to Hawaii. It raises two teacher‑allotment amounts in the February 23, 1917 law from $27,000 to $28,500 and from $98,500 to $105,200. It also removes Hawaii from definitions in the Vocational Education Act of 1946 and other education laws, changes some local contribution rules, and authorizes $6,000,000 to be appropriated to the State of Hawaii. That money must be treated like proceeds from public land sales under the July 2, 1862 law.
