NCLB Waiver
Dear Teachers,
The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) has posted the state’s Draft ESEA waiver request document for flexibility from the requirements of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA)/No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act on the KDE website. We welcome you to review the waiver request document and its accompanying appendix and send us your comments/feedback. If the state’s waiver request for flexibility is accepted, the Unbridled Learning Accountability Model would provide a single designation for both state and federal accountability. The deadline for submission of thewaiver request is November 14, and the U.S. Department of Education will review applications in December. We hope to have approval during January.
