Educators’ union applauds waiver of No Child Left Behind law

The union plans a seminar March 3 to discuss what the change will mean for educators.

"This is good news for Minnesota because we will no longer label our schools as failures based on the misguided criteria of No Child Left Behind," said Education Minnesota President Tom Dooher. "Instead we will switch to more realistic assessments based on multiple measures.

"The waiver sets out a new and ambitious goal to reduce the achievement gap by half within six years, which we support," he added. "However, we\’re concerned that goal won\’t be reached without serious new investments in public education, including for early childhood education, smaller class sizes and wrap-around services in our schools."
