Duncan Issues Far More NCLB Waivers Than Predecessors

By Michele McNeil 4.22.11

Examples of waivers from this article:

"In Kansas, for example, a school district just this month got a first-of-its-kind waiver to use its own standards and tests, opting out of state exams for its oldest students. In Utah, the state in March won approval to let 12 districts use computer-adaptive tests for accountability purposes—a request rejected in 2008 by Ms. Spellings."

A lack of transparency on these is an issue.
