Education reform bill shifts focus to results with No Child Left Behind
Roger Hernandez analyzes Bush's No Child Left Behind Act as a bipartisan blend of liberal funding and conservative accountability. The bill authorizes up to 26.5 billion for K-12, triples literacy funding to 1 billion, and ties federal aid to yearly testing and long-term improvements in reading and math. It promises tutoring and transportation aid early, with potential staff changes and funding loss for nonprogress after set periods. The piece contrasts past liberal protections with new federal spending, urging orthodoxy abandonment to improve outcomes for inner-city students.
