In his first term, President George W. Bush reshaped the face of American K-12 education by championing the landmark No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Today, pressing questions remain about the administration's plans for implementing various provisions of the law. What are the administration's plans for NCLB, and what new policies will the administration pursue as Congress considers a raft of important education legislation up for reauthorization, including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Head Start, and the Higher Education Act?

Please join David Dunn, White House; Nina Rees, U.S. Department of Education; Sally Stroup, U.S. Department of Education; Roberto Rodriguez, U.S. Senate HELP Committee; and Erik Robelen, Education Week, as they discuss how the administration and the new Congress will seek to implement NCLB and tackle these other important bills. Frederick M. Hess, director of education policy studies at AEI, will moderate the discussion.
