The Obama Administration's Elementary and Secondary Education Act
Re-authorization Blueprint
Full Committee Hearing
2:30 PM, March 17, 2010 2175 Rayburn H.O.B.
Washington, DC
On Wednesday, March 17, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan will appear before the House Education and Labor Committee to discuss the Obama administration's blueprint for overhauling the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, currently known as No Child Left Behind. The committee is currently working in a bipartisan and transparent way to rewrite the law.

You should start contacting your representatives and senators now. There is every indication that the Obama administration intends to re-authorize using the strictures (and lack of researched-based plans) they are now using for both Race to the Top and School Transformation Grants.

Incidentally, WPS gets 12% of their budget from the federal government.
