No Child Left Behind visited by NCSL

I'm preparing for the annual meeting for the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL). Next week I've been asked to participate with the education committee to provide feed back to the McCain and Obama education advisors. This opportunity comes as a result of my involvement in the NCSL task force dealing with "No Child Left Behind." A new task force has been formed by NCSL to address the role the federal govenment should have in public education. Some feel the federal govenment should not be involved in what is a state responsibility. In large part I share this sentiment and will work to make sure the constitutional responsibilities the states have established will be respected.
