Student Success Act

Jul. 19, 2013 | H.R. 5
The so-called Student Success Act would reauthorize the nation's elementary and secondary education law through 2019. But the Republican bill starves schools of resources and does nothing to address what educators say is pervasive over testing of students. With nearly half of all children in public schools living in poverty, the bill diverts resources for poor children--resources already cut by the sequester--to programs and policies that do not have a track record of success and are based on ideology, not results. It also undercuts the ability of school districts to target and increase funds to schools serving the highest concentrations of poor students. The bill passed.

This is Bad for working people.
