Indiana's No Child Left Behind Waiver

Student

The U.S. Department of Education has granted Indiana schools a waiver from No Child Left Behind testing requirements. That means schools will be measured by the state's school letter grading system instead of No Child Left Behind’s yearly progress goals for school performance, known as “adequate yearly progress” or “AYP."

Some worry the state policies replacing No Child Left Behind do not do enough to address achievement gaps. Others say the waiver is good news for schools that would not have been able to achieve the No Child Left Behind Act's standards.
