Kentucky To Reapply For No Child Left Behind Waiver

{Kentucky}...Kentucky Education Commissioner Terry Holliday says the state plans to reapply for a waiver from some provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind law. Holliday said Friday the application that was sent this summer will be tweaked, but will not need much work. Holliday appeared on stage with President Barack Obama and U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan in Washington, D.C., for the Friday unveiling of the plan that will let states apply for waivers from key provisions of the Bush-era No Child Left Behind law. The waivers are aimed at benchmarks that have been used to determine whether a school was considered to be failing, largely based on test scores.
