From Pearland ISD: Human Resources Services Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide the highest degree of service and support so all employees can fulfill their responsibilities to Pearland ISD students.

Pearland ISD does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age or disability in providing education or providing access to benefits of education services, activities and programs, including vocational programs, in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act; and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975.


Notice that they mention the following federals: 

- Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
- Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972
- Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
- Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act
- The Age Discrimination Act of 1975. 

This is an example of federalism. The national government placing requirements on - in this case - a local government.

Since these are not funded by the national government, they can be called unfunded mandates.
