Title: Opting Out of No Child Left Behind Act
Vote Smart's Synopsis:
Vote to pass a bill that allows Arizona to opt out of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) beginning fiscal year 2010-2011 if the legislature appropriates enough funds to offset the loss of federal funds as a result of opting out of the program.
Highlights:
- Requires the Department of Education to coordinate with the State Board of Education and School Facilities Board to conduct a study on the impacts of opting out of NCLB and submit a final report to the Governor, President of the Senate, and Speaker of the House on or before June 30, 2009. The study shall examine the following (Sec. 2):
- - Potential loss of federal funds;
- Potential sanctions against school districts and charter schools;
- To what extent school districts and charter schools will still be required to follow the mandates established under NCLB;
- Impact on schools that do not currently accept funds from NCLB;
- Current level of funds expended to comply with NCLB; and
- Total amount necessary to offset the loss of federal funds as a result of opting out of NCLB.
