SECRETARY PAIGE TO ANNOUNCE NEW NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND PROVISION FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige, Special Olympics founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver, House Education and Workforce Committee Chairman John Boehner and children with disabilities gathered for a press conference to discuss how all children in America deserve a quality education, including those with disabilities.

The press conference also explains a new regulation published in the Federal Register that provides greater flexibility for schools under the bipartisan No Child Left Behind education reform law that also ensures accountability for students with disabilities. The new provision will strengthen the two key pillars of the No Child Left Behind Act -- accountability and flexibility -- while protecting parents' opportunities to receive information about their child's progress in school.
