More Book Details

Description of the Book:

States are under pressure to meet NCLB’s demands in part because they depend on Title I funding. It represents a small but meaningful percentage of the education budget (about 3% in California). Some state officials object to the strong conditions placed on a relatively modest sum of money. A handful of states have even considered foregoing the federal funding because of the program demands, but none has actually refused the money and the strings attached to it. As is discussed later in this report, however, some states are taking steps that could jeopardize their federal funds
