The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act is a federal law guiding reforms in the nation's public schools. It went into effect on January 8, 2002. One goal of No Child Left Behind is to ensure that ALL children are performing on grade level within 12 years.

The Purpose of the School Choice Option

The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 provides students enrolled in a school, identified as Not Meeting Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Criteria for two consecutive years, the option to transfer to another public school in the local school district that has not been identified as Needs Improvement. Eligible students attending public schools that need improvement must be given the opportunity to receive supplemental educational services if the student attends a Title I school that has been designated by the state to be in need of improvement for more than one year.
