Proposal for replacement of No Child Left Behind with Every Child Achieves

What is happening with education legislation at the national level?

ASCD (Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) reports that the Senate will begin debate on the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) replacement bill—the “Every Child Achieves” Act (S.1177) on Tuesday, July 7.  This debate is seven years past due, and the bipartisan S.1177 could finally provide schools with the updated guidance and supports that they need.
