The U.S. Department of Education recently approved Connecticut, Rhode Island, and six additional states for flexibility from key provisions of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act in exchange for state-developed plans to prepare all students for college and career, focus aid on the neediest students, and support effective teaching and leadership. This announcement brings the number of states with waivers to nineteen (including Massachusetts). Eighteen additional applications are still under review.
