A plan to overhaul the 2002 education law championed by President George W. Bush was unveiled by the Obama administration Saturday in hopes of replacing a system that in the past decade has tagged more than a third of schools as failing and created a hodgepodge of academic standards among states. "Unless we take action - unless we step up - there are countless children who will never realize their full talent and potential," Obama said Saturday. In the proposed dismantling of the No Child Left Behind law, education officials would move away from punishing schools that don't meet benchmarks and focus on rewarding schools for progress, particularly with poor and minority students. Obama intends to send a rewrite of the law to Congress on Monday. The proposed changes call for states to adopt standards that ensure students are ready for college or a career rather than grade-level proficiency - the focus of the current law. The blueprint also would allow states to use subjects other than reading and math as part of their measurements for meeting federal goals, pleasing many education groups that said No Child Left Behind encouraged teachers not to focus on history, art, science, social studies and other important subjects. And, for the first time in 45 years, the White House is proposing a $4 billion increase in federal education spending, most of which would go to increase the competition among states for grant money and move away from formula-based funding. The blueprint goes before the House Education and Labor Committee on Wednesday as Obama pushes Congress to reauthorize the education law this year, a time-consuming task that some observers say will be difficult. Committee Chairman George Miller, D-Calif., praised Obama's plan. "This blueprint lays the right markers to help us reset the bar for our students and the nation," Miller said in a prepared statement. Education Secretary Arne Duncan briefed a handful of governors, lawmakers and education groups on the plan Friday, including Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, a Republican. "The governor is very supportive of the direction the secretary is going," said Perdue's spokesman Chris Schrimpf. A few other highlights from the blueprint: *By 2020, all high school graduates would need to be ready for college or the workplace. That's a shift from the current law, which calls for all students to be performing at grade level in reading and math by 2014. *Give more rewards - money and flexibility - to high-poverty schools that are seeing big gains in student achievement and use them as a model for other schools in low-income neighborhoods that struggle with performance. *Punish the lowest-performing 5 percent of schools using aggressive measures, such as having the state take over federal funding for poor students, replacing the principal and half the teaching staff or closing the school altogether. *Duncan has said the name No Child Left Behind will be dropped because it is associated with a harsh law that punishes schools for not reaching benchmarks even if they've made big gains. He said the administration will work with Congress to come up with a new name. Daniel Domenech, executive director of the American Association of School Administrators, said he is pleased with the plan. "We're delighted over that," he said. "We have not been a fan of No Child Left Behind." Linda Mason, Ed.D.
