THE SECRETARY OF EDUCATIONWASHINGTON, D.C. 20202September 2002Dear Colleague:This year began on a wonderful note for America’s 50 million school children. When President Bushsigned the
No Child Left Behind Act
into law on January 8, 2002, our Nation embarked on a new era inhow we educate our children and how the federal government supports elementary and secondaryeducation.This historic reform gives states and school districts unprecedented flexibility in how they spend their education dollars, in return for setting standards for student achievement and holding students andeducators accountable for results. The
No Child Left Behind
Act also provides more options for parents sothat their children can get the best possible education. It also invests in teaching practices that have beendemonstrated to work. In short, it aims to foster an environment in which every child can learn andsucceed.It is my pleasure to provide you with this desktop reference to the
No Child Left Behind Act
. It offers aclear and straightforward program-by-program look at the major reforms made by the new law. I hopeyou will find it useful as you implement the law. A more complete view of the law and morecomprehensive look at the regulations and other guidance that applies to the law is available atwww.nclb.gov.I want to thank you for your efforts on behalf of our young people. I wish you success in implementing
No Child Left Behind
, for you and your colleagues are the stewards of our children’s future.Sincerely,Rod Paige
