Summary
National Institute of Education Reauthorization Act of 1985 - Amends the General Education Provisions Act to authorize appropriations for FY 1986 for the National Institute of Education (the Institute). Revises provisions relating to the appointment, composition, and functioning of the National Council on Educational Research (the Council). Provides that the Council shall be appointed by the Secretary of Education (rather than the President). Provides that the chairperson of the Council shall be elected by the Council from among the members at a meeting open to the general public for which public notice has been given. Provides that members shall be broadly representative of the education profession, including practitioners and researchers, and shall include individuals with special knowledge of the various fields of education that predominate at the preschool, elementary, secondary, and postsecondary levels. Requires that at least eight of the 15 members represent the interests of education organizations that utilize educational research to enhance learning and other positive school-related behaviors. Prohibits the Council or any of its members from using Institute or Council staff, facilities, equipment, supplies, or franking privileges to promote personal or political views or values. Requires the Director of the Council to submit an annual report to the President and the Congress on the activities of the Institute and on education and educational research in general, including appropriate recommendations and comments. Sets a March 31 deadline for submission of each such annual report. Makes technical and conforming amendments. Makes the effective date of this Act October 1, 1985, but terminates the terms of members of the Council, who are appointed by the President under current law, on September 30, 1985.
