Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Begin forwarded message: From: "Jack Gerson" <jackrgerson@gmail.com> Date: Tue Jul 22, 2008 3:48:04 PM US/Eastern To: oaklandteachers@lists.riseup.net Subject: [oaklandteachers] Fwd: FW: Message from NEA: Status of NCLB without Reauthorization Reply-To: oaklandteachers@lists.riseup.net I'm forwarding an important email from NEA that boils down to this: if NCLB isn't acted on, then even if it isn't reauthorized its provisions will remain in effect. (The email was forwarded to me and other CTA State Council members by the CTA board member for our district, Eric Heins).

However, even without a reauthorization, the Act's provisions will not expire and will remain in effect in perpetuity, unless and until Congress repeals or modifies them. Technically, funding for NCLB programs has been extended through the current fiscal year, which expires September 30, 2008. Therefore, unless Congress again extends the funding, it will be considered "unauthorized" starting in the next fiscal year. However, Congress can, and indeed routinely does, appropriate funds for unauthorized programs. Thus, Congress will continue NCLB programs by providing funding for them, even after their funding authorization has expired. In short, failure to reauthorize the Act does not mean that NCLB provisions will go away. We have attached for your information a more detailed document addressing this issue.
