(CBS) The Bush administration is moving to provide public school educators with more freedom to establish single-sex schools and classes by amending a 1972 law targeting gender bias in education.
The Education Department has announced its intention to propose changes to the Title IX statutes that ban sex discrimination in federally funded education programs and activities as part of a plan to broaden public school choice.
The department said it would pursue the changes to support efforts by school districts to improve education and to provide parents with more educational options for their children.
"Our goal is to provide schools with as much flexibility as possible to offer students programs that meet their needs," Education Secretary Rodney Paige said in a statement.
