| Title | Feds quell states' revolt on No Child Left Behind |
| Body | From: http://www.stateline.org/stateline/?pa=story&sa=showStoryInfo&id= 383406&columns=false A rebellion against the federal No Child Left Behind Act in more than half the states legislatures has fizzled out, for now, with only a handful of Vermont school districts following through on threats to ignore the new education law. At the height of this years backlash against President Bushs signature domestic policy initiative, 27 state legislatures drafted 54 bills to protest the costs, penalties and unprecedented federal oversight of school policy under the 2002 act. U.S. Education Secretary Rod Paige and his deputies crisscrossed the country on scores of trips to smooth over differences with state legislators and educators. |
