Breaking Down the NCLB Renewal

If you were wondering what the different proposed plans for the NCLB re-authorization looks like, check out this comparison done by Edweek; http://issuu.com/edweek/docs/renewal-debate-pdf/1
It breaks down the key pieces of the law and compares the current law, the Senate plan, and the Department of Ed's waiver program. Notice the contrast between the Senate bill passed by the committee and the current law and waiver program. While the House of Representatives has not yet provided details on many pieces of the proposal, you can also see that the Senate bill is at odds with the House's views on program funding and special grants.
We will have to keep watch on what, if any, changes are made to the Senate bill as it is debated within the full Senate or if this bi-partisan effort is moved on the house as-is.
