enable the Superintendent to exercise properly his or her powers and perform
his or her duties under the Private Elementary and Secondary Education
Authorization Act.

any such reciprocity agreement may limit the powers, duties and
responsibilities of the Superintendent independently to investigate or act upon
any application for a license to operate or any application for renewal of a

application for issuance or renewal of any agents permit, or to enforce any

or any regulations promulgated under it.
