Panel to study NCLB

A bipartisan, non-government commission is being created to take a "hard, independent look" at the law, reports USA Today. The Commission on No Child Left Behind, announced today, will hold public field hearings and roundtables, culminating in Washington, D.C., in September.

Supported by the Aspen Institute, a Washington, D.C., think tank, the panel will be co-chaired by former Georgia governor Roy Barnes and former Health and Human Services secretary Tommy Thompson. The commission will send recommendations to Congress in advance of NCLB's expected reauthorization in 2007, the paper reports.
