Iowa Department of Education Director Jason Glass will unveil details of Iowa’s No Child Left Behind waiver request during a press conference at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 28.
Iowa accepted the U.S. Department of Education’s invitation last September to apply for a waiver from the rigid accountability measures of the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
In exchange, the Iowa Department of Education is working with key stakeholder groups to design a bold, comprehensive accountability system that puts student achievement first but also emphasizes student growth, fits Iowa’s context and builds on existing state efforts.
