SJ 437 No Child Left Behind; memorializing Congress to amend to include waiver about school accountability.

Introduced by: Emmett W. Hanger, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Memorializing Congress; No Child Left Behind Act.  Urges 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 made available to states so long as they maintain these proven standards and accountability programs. The resolution also requests that any further action anticipated to enforce the Act be deferred until full funding to implement the law has been authorized.
