This ensures the federal funding contribution maintains its real value during the mid-1990s period."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/states-grants-primary-and-secondary-education-assistance-regulations","history":"/api/acts/states-grants-primary-and-secondary-education-assistance-regulations/history","analysis":"/api/acts/states-grants-primary-and-secondary-education-assistance-regulations/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/states-grants-primary-and-secondary-education-assistance-regulations/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/states-grants-primary-and-secondary-education-assistance-regulations/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/states-grants-primary-and-secondary-education-assistance-regulations/documents"}}
