School boards making noise on NCLB reauthorizationThe list of local school boards passing a resolution in support of H.R. 648, the NSBA-backed bill to improve the No Child Left Behind Act, grows longer by the day and currently sits at 370. Check it out here. Get a sample resolution here if your board has yet to pass one.
Kudos to Virginia School Boards Association Executive Director Frank Barham, on his Sunday op-ed in The Roanoke Times outlining why so many of the Commonwealth's school boards have passed resolutions.
Local press is also picking up on the resolution campaign. Check out news coverage of the Crowley ISD (Tex.) school district passing a resolution here, and the Highland (Ind.) school district here.
Quick background on H.R. 648 can be found here. The House Education and Labor Committee could introduce its NCLB reauthorization bill as soon as this week, and school board members continue their push for the inclusion of H.R. 648's provisions in the committee bill.
