1.  § 1. No Child Left Behind; elimination plan.

A. The Virginia Board of Education shall develop a plan to eliminate initiatives or conditions that are currently being funded by the federal act known as No Child Left Behind, unless such initiatives or conditions are an integral or necessary component of the Commonwealth's own Standards of Quality, Standards of Accreditation, or Standards of Learning, as authorized by the Virginia General Assembly and the Board of Education.

B. Upon the development of the Plan required by subsection A, the Office of the Attorney General of Virginia shall provide the Board and the General Assembly an estimate of the costs for providing legal services in the event that the elimination of any initiatives or conditions results in withholding of Title I funds.
