Understanding NCLB

Under the new federal education law, No Child Left Behind (NCLB), there are many new requirements for districts, schools, and teachers.


Additional notifications must be sent to parents. These notifications range from AYP and school designation information to notifications of new parent rights to special notifications for Title I parents and parents of English language learners. Additionally, we must often translate these notifications into multiple languages in order to provide information to parents. NCLB also asks for additional parent involvement, and parents are encouraged to be part of planning and goal-setting processes.
