No Child Left Behind - Update

The U.S. Department of Education published a 181-page reference guide to the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA).  Prepared by the Office of the Under Secretary of Education, the Desktop Reference outlines what is new under the NCLBA for each program supported under the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965 and other statues. It also describes how the NCBLA's four guiding principles (accountability, flexibility and local control, parental choice, and what works) are brought to bear on many of these programs. This reference guide is intended to provide an overview of policy changes and emphases for state and district officials. Programs for which no funding was requested in fiscal years 2002 and 2003 are not included.
