SB 1212 No Child Left Behind Act; Board of Education requesting waiver from certain provisions.

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

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

No Child Left Behind. Requires the Board of Education to continue seeking waivers from the provisions of NCLB that are fiscally and programmatically burdensome and are not instructionally sound or in the best interest of children. Also requires the Board to report on the status of all such waivers by October 1, 2007; this report is to be transmitted to the Virginia Congressional delegation for its consideration in the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The Board must make a recommendation regarding Virginia's continued implementation of such Act and if the Commonwealth withdraws from NCLB, the bill allows the Board and Office of the Attorney General of Virginia to bring suit against the United States Department of Education if federal funds are inappropriately withheld as a result of the withdrawal. This bill is identical to HB 2542.
