• To close the achievement gap between poor and minority students and their more affluent, non-minority peers.
“Leave No Child Behind” Initiative and Federal Law
• Requires annual testing of ALL students in 3rd through 8th grade (same as 1994).
• States must set measurable or numerical performance goals for students.
• Numerical targets must be set for for all disaggregated groups of students.
• First increase in performance must be shown within 2 years.
• Performance thresholds must be raised at least once every 3 years .
“Leave No Child Behind” Initiative and Federal Law
After chronic failure to meet “adequate yearly progress” (6 years in a row), a school must do at least one of the following:
• Reopen as a charter school;• Replace the principal and other staff deemed
relevant to the failure;• Turn the school over to a private management
company;• Turn the school over to the state;• Other restructuring that constitutes making major
reforms.
