No Child Left Behind Education Reforms

Rep. Boehner Thanks Bush Administration for Listening to Tristate Teachers, School Leaders, Parents on Implementing No Child Left Behind Education Reforms
WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), chairman of the House Education & the Workforce committee and principal House author of President Bush’s landmark No Child Left Behind education reform bill, today praised Education Secretary Rod Paige for choosing the Cincinnati area to host the first of five regional meetings on implementation of the new law.
“We’re grateful President Bush and Secretary Paige have again chosen our region to play an important role in the historic effort to strengthen our nation’s schools,” Boehner said. “The next step in education reform is translating legislative action into results in the classroom. It’s going to require a strong commitment to results, and a close partnership with teachers, principals and parents.”
As part of Secretary Paige's efforts to work in partnership with state and local leaders on the implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act, the U.S. Department of Education is hosting five regional meetings to educate the public about the critical need for challenging content standards and high-quality assessments in K-12 education.
“Ohio will have to make some changes in its academic standards and testing system, but it is better positioned than most other states to comply with a sweeping overhaul of federal education laws,” observed the Columbus Dispatch recently (Candisky, “Ohio Has Work to Do on School Standards,” April 25, 2002)
President Bush signed the cornerstone of his education agenda -- the No Child Left Behind Act -- into law at Hamilton High School in Hamilton, Ohio, on January 8, 2002. As a result of the No Child Left Behind Act, states and school districts will develop strong accountability systems to ensure that every child in America is receiving a quality education. States and school districts will receive additional flexibility and reduced federal red tape through the ability to transfer and consolidate funds to encourage innovation. To achieve the goal of higher student achievement, the new law requires a “highly qualified” teacher in every classroom. Additionally, parents will have access to more information about how well their local school is performing, and new options to have more control over their children’s education. Every school in America will have new tools to ensure that children can learn to read.
The meetings give the public an opportunity to comment on proposed rules for standards, assessments and academic progress under the new law. See also No Child Left Behind 492 1 - 6 |

There are a lot of education fads. Does No Child Left Behind do anything to prevent bad or untested programs from being used in the classroom?
For too many years, too many schools have experimented with lessons and materials that have proven to be ineffective--at the expense of their students.

The schools announced today were not among the first list of 214 schools announced on September 17 because the department was waiting for additional information on their adequate yearly progress.
This additional information is required under the new program, which recognizes schools that make significant progress in closing the achievement gap or whose students achieve at very high levels.
The schools are selected based on ei...
