Chairman Miller Statement on Blueprint to Reform the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-CA), chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, issued the following statement today after the Department of Education released their blueprint for rewriting the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, currently known as No Child Left Behind. “President Obama has outlined a bold vision for reform that puts our efforts to rewrite our education laws on strong footing. Congress now has an incredible opportunity to help reshape the future of this country by overhauling No Child Left Behind and finally ensuring a world-class education for every single child in this country. This blueprint lays the right markers to help us reset the bar for our students and the nation.”
On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan will appear before the committee to discuss the President’s blueprint. It is the third in a series of hearings the committee is holding as it works to reauthorize the ESEA.
