On Monday, May 1, Public Education Network will release "Open to the Public: Speaking Out on No Child Left Behind," our second annual report that gives voice to community, parent, and student concerns about the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
Compiled from nine public hearings conducted across the country this past fall, and an on-line survey, the report captures questions and concerns of parents, students, and community leaders who experience the benefits and consequences of this landmark education law.
Hearings were conducted in California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
Please join Wendy D. Puriefoy, president of Public Education Network, and several hearing participants, for a briefing on Capitol Hill to discuss the report and key recommendations from the public.
To enter the Capitol Building, your name will need to be on the RSVP/security list, and you will need to show photo identification.
Please RSVP by Thursday, April 27 to Andrea Grenadier at 202-628-7460 x258 or AGrenadier@PublicEducation.org.
Reports will be available for download at httpF://www.PublicEducation.org after 10:00 a.m.
