Senate votes to overhaul ESEA (No Child Left Behind) The U.S. Senate voted Thursday, 81-17, to pass a bill that turns away from the Washington-dictated, one-size-fits-all test and punish culture that has hurt students, diminished learning, narrowed the curriculum and frustrated educators and parents. US Senate has voted to overhaul No Child Left Behind. Now what? Educators and parents expect House and Senate Democrats and Republicans to craft a bill that provides more opportunity for all students, no matter where they live, how they learn, or how much money their parents make. PA governor vetoes GOP budget that fails students and schools Educators support Gov. Tom Wolf's insistence that the state can do better for public education.
