Last week, a bi-partisan majority the US House supported a bill re-authorizing federal K-12 education programs. The new Elementary and Secondary Education Authorization bill is intended to replace the No Child Left Behind Act, signed into law in 2002. All the details of the new plan are not yet fully worked but Kansas Commissioner of Education Randy Watson says he likes the package so far.
Watson cautions that the bill has yet to pass the Senate or be signed by the President, so many provisions could still change.
