HB 1425 No Child Left Behind Act; Board of Education to make recommendation in regard to participation.
Introduced by: R. Steven Landes | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
No Child Left Behind; withdrawal. Requires the Board of Education to make a recommendation to the General Assembly on whether Virginia should withdraw from the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, unless reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act provides the necessary revisions in the 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. If the Board recommends withdrawing from participation in NCLB, the Board must develop a plan for withdrawal and must submit such plan to the Governor and the General Assembly for their consideration by June 30, 2009. This bill is identical to SB 490 (Hanger).
