Twenty-six states and the District of Columbia submitted applications for the second round of No Child Left Behind waivers by Tuesday’s deadline, but a crucial question lingers: Did the Administration’s highly controversial program for offering states freedom from NCLB’s most onerous requirements make the situation any better? Tomorrow morning, the Fordham Institute will host experts from the media, the Administration, and think tanks to answer at “Weighing the Waivers: Did the Administration Get It Right on ESEA Flexibility?”
This panel discussion will investigate how the Education Department’s ambitious attempt to bypass a Congress gridlocked over ESEA reauthorization will alter state policies and the federal role in education. There is still time to register, but for those unable to attend in person, you can stream the discussion live from our website beginning at 9 a.m. EST. Don’t miss it!
