Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings issued proposed federal regulations today that touch on core aspects of the No Child Left Behind Act, requiring states to provide more and better information about high school graduation rates, student test performance, and the availability and quality of tutoring under the federal law.
In a speech before the Detroit Economic Club, Ms. Spellings described the new policy tools as “bulldozers” designed to “tear down barriers to reform.”
She said that many of the proposed actions “have gained broad support” in conversations about how to strengthen the federal law, whose reauthorization is stalled on Capitol Hill.
