Commission on No Child Left Behind Releases Report

The Commission on No Child Left Behind released a 230-page bipartisan report that lays out a wide-reaching expansion of the No Child Left Behind law.

The expansion would require schools to ensure all high school seniors are proficient in reading and math and would hold schools accountable for raising test scores in science by 2014. The law requires testing in reading and math in third through eighth grades and once in high school. Schools that fail to make yearly progress face sanctions.

The report also proposes sanctions for teachers with poorly performing students and the creation of new national standards and tests.
