It appears that NCLB will be put on the backburner, at least that is Alexander Russo's opinion. It is no surprise that the Higher Education Act consumed the majority of the legislative window that was available for NCLB. Now that the presidential campaign is going to take center stage, it is likely the Congress will avoid potentially controversial issues. On top of that, with the Iraq war reports and debate that will happen in September you can pretty much guarantee that education will not be on the floors of Congress this year. So, we will wait on NCLB. How long? Well, the NSBA wants to get education on the agenda yet this year so that "schools do not have to endure another 2-3 years under a flawed law." Don't bet on it.
