No Child left Behind issue
Following the Issues in Literacy link on the IRA site, the Reading Today Daily link provides a very interesting article from Arizona. The Senate in Arizona is looking at NOT participating in the No Child Left Behind Federal Program because they feel it interferes with the educational programs they are trying to provide to their students. The Bill discusses their willingness to forgo the Federal monies if they choose to step out of the program.

Hmmm... What could we do to get RI to jump on that band wagon?!?!
What money? I would like to see exactly how that money is spent!
No child left behind....there is a generation that will be when this program is finished. Where is the accountability? KathyF
I agree with Arizona. Who said we left anyone behind?
Hm. It's interesting that states are given the option to "opt out". I thought No Child Left Behind was mandatory in the United States. Very interesting.
