Extractions: What's Inside: President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act requires schools, districts, and states to publish annual report cards for the public. These report cards are intended to drive decisionmaking and ensure accountability in school reform. The challenge for educators is to create workable toolsdocuments that are practical and meaningful in the real world of public education. President Bush's recent reform of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), known as the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, requires each of the nation's school districts to publish and distribute an annual Local Education Agency (LEA) Report Card that includes individual report cards for each of its schools. The law further requires that each state develop and disseminate an annual State Report Card that incorporates data from the district and school levels. Because the act was signed into law in January 2002, discussions on the effective use and dissemination of this information are urgently needed. The challenge for Northwest school administrators and other stakeholders, at all levels, is to transform these report cards from bureaucratic paperwork to living documents for public discourse on public schools and school improvement.
