Notwithstanding any other law or provision of law, no court or [officer](/usc/20/1094.md?p=i-5) of the United States shall enter, as a remedy for a denial of equal educational opportunity or a denial of equal protection of the laws, any order for enforcement of a plan of desegregation or modification of a court-approved plan, until such time as the [local educational agency](/usc/20/1003.md?p=11) to be affected by such order has been provided notice of the details of the violation and given a reasonable opportunity to develop a voluntary remedial plan. Such time shall permit the [local educational agency](/usc/20/1003.md?p=11) sufficient opportunity for community participation in the development of a remedial plan.
