The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (formerly known as No Child Left Behind) is in the process of being reauthorized. The US Department of Education issued, A Blueprint for Reform: The Reauthorization for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in March 2010. The Statewide Parent Advocacy Network of New Jersey (SPAN), the Region 1 Technical Assistance Center for Parent Training and Information Centers (PTIs), has adopted the following key principles that CPAC believes are worthy of consideration. We encourage parents, educators and community members to learn more about this important legislation which governs public education in the United States for students K-12.

The Federal Government is looking for written comments from parents, teachers and community organizations regarding the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).

If you would like to submit your feedback and recommendations, please email powerineducation@gmail.com.  July 23, 2010 is the deadline for submission of recommendations.

If you have questions about the reauthorization of ESEA or would like to discuss it with a Parent Consultant, please contact CPAC at 1-800-445-2722.
