School District
A school district is a special-purpose district that operates local public primary and secondary schools in various nations.

No Child Left Behind Act
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) was a U.S. Act of Congress that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act; it included Title I provisions applying to disadvantaged students. It supported standards-based education reform based on the premise that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals could improve individual outcomes in education. The Act required states to develop assessments in basic skills. To receive federal school funding, states had to give these assessments to all students at select grade levels.

While the bill faced challenges from both Democrats and Republicans, it passed in both chambers of the legislature with significan ...
