dec 31, 2002 - Obama No Child Left Behind act

Description:

Obama said during the presidential campaign that while he supports the law’s overall goal, he believes the program needs fixing.
Obama has called for an additional $18 billion to be invested in the nation's schools, in part to help school districts meet the law's expectations.
The program requires all schools and districts to meet yearly progress benchmarks in math and reading. The benchmarks get tougher over time, with the goal that by 2014, all students will be performing at grade level in those subjects.
