NSBA supports bill to suspend NCLB sanctions

NSBA has worked with Rep. Sam Graves, R-MO to introduce H.R. 6239, which would suspend NCLB sanctions on schools and school districts for a year. Tim Walz, D-MN, is a cosponsor. Given that Congress fails to reauthorize the bill this year, H.R 6239 is a critical bill to make sure schools do not continue to be subject to mislabeling and costly sanctions which have not been proven effective. NCLB’s accountability system needs to be overhauled completely; see NSBA’s recommendations here. Meanwhile Graves' bill provides an interim solution that is needed to stop NCLB sanctions from wrongly ensnaring more schools.
