No Child Left Behind - Accountability
The No Child Left Behind Act, which was a reauthorization of the former, and still existing, Elementary and Secondary Education Act, requires that schools be measured by the percentage of students proficient in Maine’s Learning Results standards. Each year, a higher percentage of students were expected to meet the standards, until by 2013-14, 100 percent of students would meet them.
Maine, like more than 40 other states, has submitted a request to the U.S. Department of Education for ESEA Flexibility – a waive to allow the state to set more realistic and fair targets that take into account where a school is at, and its population. For more information see the Accountability and Improvement section of this website.
