 House Committee Takes Step Toward ESEA Reauthorization

In the first action since the February 28, 2012, markup of  the two major ESEA reauthorization bills, H.R. 3989, the Success for All Students Act, and H.R. 3990, the Encouraging Innovation and Effective Teachers Act, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce on Thursday, May 3, released the two committee reports that accompany the bills.  The release came on the heels of a letter sent by NSBA Executive Director Anne Bryant and other  state and locally-based organizations to House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell urging both chambers to complete the ESEA reauthorization so that it may be completed before the adjournment of the 112th Congress.   That the Committee chose to issue House Report Nos. 112-458 and 112-459, which total 1000 pages, is a sign that the House leadership may be preparing to move forward and take the bills up on the floor.  The reports will be published in the Congressional Record when the House reconvenes on May 7.  While the Senate Health Education, Labor and Pensions Committee marked up its still unnumbered version of the ESEA reauthorization on October 19, 2011, the committee report has heretofore not been released.
