“The regulatory changes announced by Secretary Spellings include important improvements for implementing No Child Left Behind, even as Congress considers further reforms to the law.
I urge the President to reverse course in his tin cup education budget and finally invest in the education of our children. If the Administration can find billions of dollars for Iraq, surely President Bush can devote a fraction of those resources to America’s school children.”
