President Barack
Obama on Thursday signed into law the bi-partisan overhaul of No Child Left
Behind.
The reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act shifts some
authority over public schools from the federal government to the states and
local districts.
The new law, which is called the Every Student Succeeds Act, maintains mandated
testing of students in third- through eighth-grades and once in high school,
but it allows states to determine how to use those test scores to evaluate
teachers and schools.
Here is a link to a White House analysis of the new law.
