NCLB Under A Microscope
Meave O'Marah, Kenneth Klau, Theodor Rebarber, AccountabilityWorks and the Education Leaders Council
February 2004
Also newly released is a study by AccountabilityWorks, entitled NCLB Under A Microscope, undertaken jointly with the Education Leaders Council, that says the additional federal funds being channeled into K-12 education "exceed the state and local 'hard costs' resulting from specific NCLB requirements." The authors dispute the contention that it's also Washington's duty to bear the costs of boosting pupil achievement, noting that the states have a "pre-existing obligation to ensure a quality education for all students."
