 Projected Costs of
Implementing
The Federal
"No Child Left Behind Act"
In Ohio
In January 2002,
President George W. Bush signed into law the "No Child Left
Behind Act," the latest reauthorization of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965. Commonly referred to as "NCLB,"
the act represents a sweeping overhaul of federal education
policy. Both before and since the federal governments enactment
of NCLB, the State of Ohio has been revising state law to improve
teacher quality standards, strengthen accountability, close
achievement gaps, and improve success rates for the 1.8 million
students in Ohio's primary and secondary schools. One
specific portion of House Bill 3 (Section 10) directed the
Superintendent of Public Instruction
to submit to the General Assembly within ninety days of its
enactment a detailed financial
analysis of the projected costs of compliance with the No Child
Left Behind Act. This report
has been prepared for the Ohio Department of Education in accordance
with that requirement.
