Case Summary

On August 21, 2007, a group of California students, their parents, and a related nonprofit filed this lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The plaintiffs alleged that moderate- and low-income minority students were being harmed by the DOE's regulation allowing interns and others who had not achieved full state certification to qualify as "highly qualified" teachers.

On August 21, 2007, a group of California students, their parents, and a related nonprofit filed this lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The plaintiffs alleged that moderate- and low-income minority students were being harmed by the DOE's regulation allowing interns and others who had not achieved full state certification to qualify as "highly qualified" teachers. The plaintiffs, represented by a combination of public interest and private counsel, sought declaratory and injunctive relief under the Administrative Procedure Act, claiming that the defendants' regulation implementing the Federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act violated a congressionally mandated requirement.

Specifically, the plaintiffs claimed that by designating teachers who were in the process of achieving full certification as "highly qualified" the DOE had violated the clear congressional directive that "highly qualified" teachers teach students in their core classes. Congress defined "highly qualified" teachers as those who had completed their teacher preparation and had received full state certification. The DOE's regulation, however, allowed for a teacher to be classified as "highly qualified" while in the process of achieving full certification. The result, the plaintiffs alleged, was that intern-teachers, still in the process of being trained, were disproportionately teaching low-income and minority-descent students.

On motion for summary judgment, the district court (Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton) evaluated the plaintiffs' claim that the regulation conflicted with the NCLB. Applying Chevron deference (where a court defers to the agency's interpretation of a statute unless unreasonable), the court found that the regulation did not conflict with the statute because the NCLB never defined the phrase "full State certification as a teacher (including certification obtained through alternative routes to certification)." Therefore, Congress gave the DOE the discretion to clarify what the statute meant, including the ability to issue a regulation certifying that a teacher was "fully qualified" while in the process of achieving full certification.

On appeal to the Ninth Circuit, the plaintiffs argued that the DOE's regulations classifying teachers who were making progress towards achieving full certification, rather than having already been fully certified under state law, should not be afforded Chevron deference because it was unreasonable. In essence, the plaintiffs argued that the defendants' regulation resulted in the situation where, "a first-day participant in an alternative certification program working towards full state certification and a thirty-year, fully-certified teaching veteran are equally considered 'highly qualified' under the regulation, and states and districts are permitted to treat them identically for purposes of hiring, distribution, planning and public reporting."

But the DOE argued that whether the federal regulation defined "highly qualified" as only one who has achieved full certification or to also include those who are in the process of achieving full certification, the decision would still be up to the state to define who is fully certified under their own state law. Moreover, because the NCLB has been interpreted to not create an enforceable right against a state, a victory in this suit would not redress the plaintiff's alleged injury, thus leaving the plaintiffs without standing to bring their claim.

While initially issuing an opinion that held the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring to challenge the regulation, the original Ninth Circuit panel (Judges Dorothy W. Nelson, William A. Fletcher, and Richard C. Tallman), in a rare reversal, withdrew and replaced their first opinion with a new one. In the new opinion, the Circuit reversed itself and found that the plaintiffs had standing to challenge the regulation. After finding that the plaintiffs had standing to challenge the regulation at issue, the majority held that the regulation failed Chevron's test of deference to agency regulations. The court held that the regulation was invalid because "it is inconsistent with the unambiguously expressed intent of Congress." The holding was based on "the difference between the meaning of "has obtained" in [the statute] and the meaning of demonstrat[es] satisfactory progress toward in [the regulation]."

On October 12, 2010, the defendants moved for a rehearing. Then, in December of 2010, Congress passed a bill that included an amendment that would codify the Department of Education's regulation interpreting the No Child Left Behind Act's "highly qualified" classification as encompassing teachers who had not achieved full state certification and were still in the midst of their training programs. The amendment remained in the final bill signed by the President. As a result, Congress effectively overturned the Circuit's finding that the regulation was not entitled to Chevron deference and codified the Department of Education's interpretation of "highly qualified." The amendment, however, remained in effect only through the 2012-2013 school year.

On May 10, 2012, the Ninth Circuit granted the petition for rehearing and issued a new opinion in light of the amendment to the NCLB Act. The Circuit concluded that because of the temporary nature of the amendment, the plaintiffs' claims were not moot. But the Circuit agreed that the amendment overturned its prior decision. The Circuit also held that the plaintiffs' attorneys were not entitled to attorneys' fees because the DOE's position was "substantially justified."

There have been no further updates to this case since the Ninth Circuit's decision in 2012. There is no reason to think that this case is still ongoing.
