Marking the 7th Anniversary of NCLB
Today marks the seventh anniversary of enactment of the No Child Left Behind Act, a sweeping overhaul of our nation's elementary and secondary education laws. While No Child Left Behind has brought real accountability to our nation's schools -- and has helped improve student achievement and begin to close achievement gaps in the process -- the time has come for reform. We can build on this law's strengths while making it more nuanced, flexible, and responsive to state and local needs. Republicans are committed to reforming this law, and will fight to make sure it happens in the 111th Congress.
