WASHINGTON (AP)
— No one thinks it’ll be
easy, but the House and
Senate are embarking on
negotiations to merge two
differing education bills
that would rewrite the
nation’s much-criticized
No Child Left Behind
education law.
On Thursday, the Senate
overwhelmingly approved
its version of the education
legislation, a week after
the House passed a more
conservative measure.
For years, Congress has
tried to update the law. It
expired in 2007, though
its mandates remained
in place. Critics have
complained there is too
much testing and the law
is too punitive for schools
deemed to be failing. The
Obama administration
began issuing waivers to

serve hot, nutritious meals and have games and activities for
children; and the program has no qualification process.

strictest requirements
when it became clear they
would not be met.
Here are five things to
know about congressional
efforts to replace No Child
Left Behind:
THE SIMILARITIES
Both the House and
Senate bills seek to
significantly lessen the
federal role in the nation’s
public schools.
Both would maintain
the federally required
annual tests in reading and
math in grades 3 through
8 and once in high school,
as well as science tests
given three times between
grades 3 and 12. The
bills return to the states
the power to determine
whether and how to use
those tests to assess the
performance of schools,
teachers and students
— instead of having
federally prescribed school
improvement plans.
Another area of
agreement: the Common
Core academic standards.
The bills say the
Education Department
may not mandate or give
states incentives to adopt
or maintain any particular
set of standards, such
as Common Core. The
Common Core standards
were drafted by the states
with the support of the
administration but have
become a rallying point
for those who want a
smaller federal role in
education.
THE DIFFERENCES
The biggest difference
in the two bills has to do
with school choice and
funding.
The House measure,
sponsored by Rep. John
Kline, R-Minn., includes
so-called portability. It
allows federal money
to follow low-income
children to public schools
of their choice instead of
current law, which has

Burrow reunion Aug. 1
Descendants of Banks E. Burrow (born 1854, died 1953
in Sulphur Springs) and Marandy Elizabeth Mosley of Cass

County on Farm Market 995 or a noon covered dish meal.

“In the event of a death
sentence, there is room
for a direct appeal, and
we don’t do those appeals.
The costs for those are
relatively minor because
in the direct appeal the
attorney appealing is
limited to what is in the
trial record, and only one
lawyer is appointed. The
appeal doesn’t require an
investigation of the case.
It’s just a matter of reading
the transcript, researching
the points that may be in
error and presenting them.
It would involve such
things as jury misconduct
or something out of order
those dollars remain at the
struggling schools.
Democrats do not
support the idea, and the
Obama administration has
made clear it won’t back
the House bill. Lawmakers
voting on the Senate bill,
sponsored by Republican
Lamar Alexander of
Tennessee and Democrat
Patty Murray of
Washington, rejected the
idea of adding portability
to their measure.
THE VOTES
The Senate voted
overwhelmingly for its
education rewrite, by a
vote of 81-17.
The House vote was
more partisan, 218-213.
No Democrats
supported the measure
and 27 Republicans voted
against it.
NEXT STEPS
Negotiating a
compromise. The Senate
and House will have to
find consensus and merge
the two bills.
After the Senate vote,
Alexander, who chairs the
Health, Education, Labor
and Pension Committee,
said, “There are some
issues that are different,
but I foresee a successful
conference.”
Said Kline, who chairs
the House Education and
the Workforce Committee,
“There is a lot of work
that lies ahead, but I am
confident we will find
common ground and send a
bill to the president’s desk.”
I

conduct,” he said. “We
don’t do those because the
trial lawyers aren’t going
to want to point a finger at
themselves, it just isn’t done
that the same lawyers that
try the case would also be
counsel in a direct appeal.”
“The second one that
can be larger than that: the
county remains financially
liable for the costs of the
defense experts. Those can
be large,” he said. “These
