Elementary & Secondary Education Act: Reform, Reauthorization & Accountability Considerations

The effectiveness of the nation’s schools is a concern at all levels of government. It is generally held that all students in elementary and secondary education should have access to quality public schools, providing all students with an opportunity to meet rigorous academic standards. This book examines the federal government’s evolving role in supporting state and local accountability for elementary and secondary education and discusses how this role may continue to evolve or change during reauthorization.
