NCLB and the State Legislature

During spring break, two Republican state senators, Michel of Edina and Hann of Eden Prairie, held a press conference to announce their support for pulling Minnesota out of NCLB. They commented that support for this action is bipartisan at the state capitol. In Washington, reauthorization of NCLB has stalled in Congress as a similar bipartisan coalition of Republicans and Democrats are demanding significant reform, 100% funding, or abolition. After learned of the comments of Senators Michel and Hann, I contacted my state senator, Linda Higgins, DFL-Mineeapolis, and the state senator who represents my school, Ellen Anerson, DFL-St. Paul (as well as Senators Michel and Hann). No response as of today. If you're concerned with the issue of NCLB, drop me a line. drfaust
