No Child Left Behind Waiver

AIF SUPPORTS efforts by the Florida Department of Education to seek a federal waiver from the No Child Left Behind program.

This law was established a decade ago to help our nation improve our education system. Although it has helped many students throughout the country, it has also had some limitations that need to be addressed. As such, the Department plans on applying for a flexibility waiver that will enable us to closely align our state’s accountability system with a revised federal plan. Obtaining this federal waiver will ensure that the recent gains in our education system will continue to bear fruit and prepare our students for the workforce of tomorrow.
