 The No Child Left Behind Act: An Overview of Reauthorization Issues
for the 110th Congress
Most programs of federal aid for primary and secondary education are authorized by the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The ESEA was
most recently amended and reauthorized by the No Child Left
Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). ESEA programs are authorized through
FY2008, and it is expected that the 110th Congress will
consider legislation to amend and extend the ESEA. Debates
over reauthorization of the ESEA and NCLB are likely to focus on the
following issues:
- Should standards-based testing be
expanded to include other subjects?
- Are progress requirements working
to improve education for disadvantaged students and identifying
low-performing schools?
- Have corrective measures helped
schools improve?
