State Finally Gets a Waiver

In the Texas Tribune article, the State of Texas has finally received a waiver from "The No Child Left Behind" program.

The government wanted to intervene in Texas education because many schools failed to pass their math and reading exams. However now, only a small percent of schools will have interventions from the government. The plan from the federal government was require declining school districts to render 20% of their funds to make up for the academic failures and offer remedial tutoring services to students.

With this said, the waiver is essential to schools not being required to change everything up. By change, I mean some districts would have to be reconsider their educational structures - not at their own will- but at the will of the federal government.

As all this continues, officials have now offered other states a blueprint of all this in which other states might take into consideration in regards to improving their own educational programs.
