HOUSE BILL NO. 1425 AMENDMENT IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE (Proposed by the Senate Committee on Finance on February 20, 2008) (Patron Prior to Substitute—Delegate Landes) A BILL to direct the Board of Education under certain circumstances to make a recommendation in regard to participation in the federal No Child Left Behind Act.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. §. 1. Unless reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act provides the necessary revisions in the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act that allow Virginia's existing educational accountability system, as set forth in the Standards of Quality, Standards of Learning, and Standards of Accreditation, to substantially meet the accountability requirements of the federal law, the Board of Education shall make a recommendation to the General Assembly on Virginia's continued implementation of NCLB.
