Update on NCLB in Iowa in 2007-2008

THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION MEMO: NCLB IN IOWA IN 2007-2008
This MEMO from the Iowa Department of Education is intended to provide annual information to public school districts of the requirements included in the federal legislation, No Child Left Behind (NCLB).

Although this memo is long, it is important that each section is read carefully because the Iowa Department of Education (DE) continually updates the components. Information for which we have received questions from the field or clarifications from the United States Department of Education (USDE) is added each year.

Iowa’s Plan

The federal government required each state to submit a consolidated state application accountability workbook that details how each state will implement NCLB.
