Dear WVDE Staff,

Dear Education Colleague, 

 

The West Virginia Board of Education is requesting public comment on a
proposal seeking relief from certain provisions of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA), also known as the No Child Left Behind Act.

 

The flexibility request requires the West Virginia Department of Education
to develop a rigorous and comprehensive plan designed to improve educational
outcomes for all students, close achievement gaps, increase equity and
improve the quality of instruction. Work on the request is being guided by
the Accountability and Accreditation Stakeholder Committee, which includes
representatives of the West Virginia Board of Education, county school
superintendents, school principals, parents, teachers, teacher organizations
and others. 

 

Educators, parents and community members are encouraged to review and
provide comment on the proposed flexibility request. The request can be
viewed on the West Virginia Department of Education website at
http://wvde.state.wv.us/policies/esea.html 

 

The proposal will remain on public comment until Aug. 31. If approved by the
U.S. Department of Education, the waiver would free West Virginia public
schools from certain federal rules and deadlines to focus on improving
learning and instruction.
