NCLB Enforcement

Department of Ed getting ready to crack down on states about their testing systems, even with calls to chiefs this week looks like fewer than 10 are going to make the full cut…ED’s strategy seems to be to penalize states but then send the money to local districts to ease the political sting. But, send in the lawyers! Some say this raises a separation of powers issue. Funny though, when ED went extralegal on growth models the states were not ready to rush to court, were they? More on the enforcement issues in the Title I Monitor.
