Memorializes Congress to amend the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act immediately to include a mechanism for an automatic waiver from its provisions for school accountability for states, such as Virginia, that have successfully raised student achievement through their own standards and accountability reforms, and that this waiver be available to states so long as they maintain these proven standards and accountability programs. The resolution also requests that any action anticipated to enforce the Act be deferred until full funding to implement the law has been authorized.
