MADISON (WKOW) -- The federal No Child Left Behind Act may soon be significantly scaled down in Wisconsin.
The U.S. Department of Education is offering states the opportunity to waive certain provisions of the Act, which has been in place since 2002 as a tool to measure both student and school achievement.
But each state must provide details on how it will implement certain replacement standards to the USDOE for approval.
States must show how they will implement college and career-ready expectations for all students; student accountability and support for effective instruction.
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction unveiled its proposal to the Joint Committee on Education at a public hearing on Thursday.
DPI has until February 21 to submit the proposal to the USDOE.
