Moving forward with reform efforts, the Department of Education (ED) has
granted No Child Left Behind (NCLB) flexibility to eight additional states. The states include:
- Connecticut
- Delaware
- Louisiana
- Maryland
- New York
- North Carolina
- Ohio
- Rhode Island
States that receive
NCLB flexibility waivers must propose plans that address college and career readiness, accountability and teacher and principal effectiveness. As part of the
second round in the NCLB waivers process, this week’s announcement brings the total number of states with waivers to 19. Eighteen additional waiver applications submitted in the second round are still under review.
For more information on the waiver process, please view this
post from our blog describing guidance provided by the White House and ED.
