First
ESEA Reauthorization Bill Introduced in House of Representatives
Summary from
On May 13, Republican House education leaders introduced
the first bill to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education
Act (ESEA), i.e. No Child Left Behind. It is anticipated the
House will take a piece meal approach to ESEA reauthorization and
introduce several bills that will work to revise the current
law. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), chairman of the Subcommittee on
Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education, introduced the
Setting New Priorities in Education Spending Act (H.R. 1891), which
would eliminate 43 federal education programs. Many of the programs
were not funded in the FY11 spending bill or were eliminated or
consolidated in President Obama's FY12 budget request. Read the
