SEARCH Advanced Search About the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 May 2003 Reauthorization of ESEA NCLB funding Features of the law NCLB's impact on California NCLB programs For more on NCLB Reauthorization of ESEA Amid considerable publicity, in January 2002 President Bush signed a 670-page reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965. Popularly known as The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, NCLB strengthens the federal pressure on all states to pursue a standards-based reform agenda. 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 The federal government estimates that for the 2003 (federal) fiscal year, California will receive more than $2.9 billion in NCLB program funding, with Title I grants to local education agencies representing about $1.65 billion of that amount.
