Sam Dillon from the NYT turns in an????article that speculates on the contours????of an NCLB/ESEA reauthorization. There's no new news to report, and I doubt that we'll see any real movement on legislation this year--ED is too busy with the ARRA and too short-staffed to push this hard themselves. ????Overall, the piece tries to provide a sketch of what the administration would want in a new bill by looking at the stimulus package, Duncan's comments, Obama's speeches, the positions of the NEA and AFT, etc.
Update: ????Andy Eduwonk accurately points out that there's a difference between the reform people want to get out of the ARRA and the reform the legislative language is likely to get us. ????And his final dig is brutal and funny.
