Great Public Schools for Every Student by 2020!NEA called upon federal policymakers to support a nationwide effort to make every public school great by embracing a new federal role for K-12 education, strongly focusing on equity and state collaboration. NEA also called for establishing a goal that every student will have the opportunity to attend great public schools by 2020. The call comes after more than 6 years of living with the fundamentally flawed federal education law, No Child Left Behind. In its new policy paper, Great Public Schools for Every Student by 2020: Achieving A New Balance in the Federal Role to Transform America's Public Schools, NEA proposes a "new balance" in the partnership among federal, state, and local leaders. This federal-state-local partnership recognizes that schools, districts, and states are the primary engines of public school transformation. The pace of transformation - creating great public schools that assure every student success - can be accelerated by well-designed federal policies. NEA is making a long-term commitment to supporting school transformation and calls upon federal policy makers, as well as leaders at every level of government, to realize the goal. Click here for more details. The NEA is working in several areas to help the students of West Aurora and the nation. One of these areas is in high school education. Check out their plan. Another area is improving upon the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (commonly called the "No Child Left Behind" Act). Check out their positive agenda.
