What is No Child Left Behind?
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) -- the main federal law affecting education from kindergarten through high school. Proposed by President Bush shortly after his inauguration, NCLB was signed into law on January 8th, 2002.

NCLB is built on four principles:

1. accountability for results,
   
2. more choices for parents,
   
3. greater local control and flexibility, and
   
4. an emphasis on doing what works based on scientific research.
