Safe and Drug Free Schools. a program that sends Federal funds to the States and schools most affected by school violence in order to make them more orderly. Teacher training funds called the Eisenhower program that are used in New Mexico to help upgrade the preparation of teachers in our classrooms. and Bilingual and immigrant education programs. which also provide muchneeded support for communities with large numbers of limited English proficient students. In effect. this would create an unmonitored windfall for school districts that could be used for nearly any purposeconceivably even raising administrative salaries. or building swimming pools and tennis courts. There would be no oversight or accountabilityin fact. all of the limits on administrative costs and accountability measures that rely on State oversight and are already in Federal law would be eliminated by the amendment.
