Congress makes changes to No Child Left Behind Act Academic Dean Phyllis Curry and Supt. Reed say Adair County School District ready to take on changes in the law after Congress reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and overhauled No Child left behind By Shamarie Harper, Media Coordinator Adair County School District As many of you may have heard the buzz about the changes to the No Child Left Behind Act, the Adair County Schools wanted to provide some basic information on where we, as well as the rest of the nation, are at in the process. When I asked Academic Dean Phyllis Curry to briefly explain where things were at and how it would affect us, she responded with the following: "Congress voted recently to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and to overhaul No Child Left Behind. The legislation has now been signed by President Obama and local educators are awaiting word from the Kentucky Department of Education as to how the changes will affect Kentucky districts. The reauthorization to replace NCLB with the Every Child Succeeds Act (ESSA) gives more control of public education back to local boards and the states. "Kentucky Commissioner Stephen Pruitt addressed the new legislation in his Fast Five on Friday message to superintendents by reminding them that Kentucky is currently operating under an NCLB waiver and has been for several years. According to the transition timetable, the new legislation will be phased in over the course of the next four years. The Kentucky Department of Education is currently evaluating how the new legislation will impact the state's assessment and accountability model, but two changes that were already being phased in during 2015-16 will still be implemented-the addition of novice reduction and categorical growth and changes to the weights and accountability tracking of alternative school students." So without question the next four years should be interesting and full of ups and downs. But with Mrs. Curry's leadership and knowledge base the Adair County Schools are in good hands and will take each change in stride as we have always done. And with Mrs. Curry pushing us every step of the way, to be the best we can be, success is sure to be ours." Superintendent Reed added that "anyone who knows Mrs. Curry knows she will accept nothing less than excellence. She has always been one of Adair County Schools greatest strengths and will ensure this transition will go - smooth as silk." As new developments occur we will keep the public posted and explain the changes and effects on our student body to the best of our abilities. This story was posted on 2015-12-17 09:53:47
