		NCLB significantly raises expectations for states, local school districts, and schools in that all students will meet or exceed state standards in reading and mathematics within twelve years.
		NCLB requires all States, including the State of Georgia, to establish state academic standards and a state testing system that meet federal requirements.
		Under No Child Left Behind, states must develop a definition of "persistently dangerous" schools and allow public school choice for students who have been victims of a violent criminal offense or who attend a school that meets the definition.

	No Child Left - Committed to Repeal of NCLB/Helter-Skelter
		With its narrow focus upon math and reading test scores, NCLB (No Child Left Behind) is seen by some as a dangerous experiment that threatens to disrupt and dilute the education of millions of children.
		This Web site and the monthly e-mail publication No Child Left are committed to the repeal or drastic amendment of NCLB before it works irreparable harm on the public education system with its rash experiments and over-regulation of public schools.
		While NCLB pretends to champion disadvantaged children, the law is likely to condemn those students to educational poverty, narrowing goals to focus upon basic reading and math skills.

		Thus, WEEA activities are aligned with the core mission of the No Child Left Behind Act to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education.

		NCLB raised the bar on state and local school boards in terms of yearly goals they must meet and the level of Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) they must make, and it offered the promise of providing every student – regardless of race, class, gender, or income – a quality education.

	CNN.com - Bush stumps for 'No Child Left Behind' - Jan. 6, 2004
		President Bush is defending his "No Child Left Behind" initiative against Democrats who, in fighting for a political advantage on the education issue, argue that the law is too rigid and is being shortchanged by the administration.
		In fiscal years 2002 through the current 2004, Congress authorized between $26.4 billion and $32 billion to be spent on the "No Child Left Behind" initiative.
		Critics also say that the way the "No Child Left Behind" federal grading system works isn't fair in some cases because it requires yearly progress not just from a school but from every subgroup of students, including those with disabilities or ones who speak English as a second language.

	AFT - Hot Topics - No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act
		When the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) became law in 2002, the AFT hoped that the resources earmarked for NCLB would be provided and that the law would be implemented in a way that would strengthen public education while raising the academic achievement of all students.
		The AFT supports the intention of the staff quality provisions of NCLB, which is to ensure that all students are taught by teachers who know their subject matter and how to teach, and are supported by well-trained paraprofessionals.
		This shortfall has undercut the efforts of states, districts and schools at a time when they are working to meet new, rigorous requirements for students and teachers.
