Extractions: Amid considerable publicity, in January 2002 President Bush signed a 670-page reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965.

This includes high academic standards for all students; extra support to help students and schools meet those standards; increased flexibility for local schools in order for them to do so; and greater accountability for the results, particularly as measured by student performance on standardized tests. A large portion of NCLB funding is under the Title I program area, which is aimed at schools serving students living in poverty. However, funding under other titles is not necessarily based on income criteria. NCLB funding
