The Student Success Act: Reforming Federal Accountability RequirementsUnder No Child Left Behind. Webmemo. No. 3461

On its 10-year anniversary, there is consensus that No Child Left Behind (nclb) is broken. The debate over how to reform nclb has generated a number of proposals from both houses of Congress and the Obama Administration, but ideas about how to rewrite the law differ greatly. In early 2012, the House Education and the Workforce Committee introduced a draft of the Student Success Act as part of a piecemeal strategy to rewrite No Child Left Behind. As the decade-old law's harshest sanctions quickly approach and discontent with lackluster student achievement mounts, the Student Success Act aims to reform the much-derided accountability provisions of nclb, provide funding flexibility to states and local school districts, and limit federal intervention into local school policy.
