Earlier this week, U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige accepted the resignation of Susan Neuman as assistant secretary for elementary and secondary education. While the office she directed is the organizational home of the No Child Left Behind Act, much of the implementation of that law has been orchestrated from elsewhere in the Department and White House. Before joining the Department, Neuman was a reading researcher at the University of Michigan. For details see "Secretary Paige Accepts Susan B.
