Why No Child Left Behind is important to America

Since the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
first passed Congress in 1965,
the federal government has spent more than $321 billion
(in 2002 dollars)
to help educate disadvantaged children.

Yet nearly 40 years later,
only 32 percent of fourth-graders can read skillfully at grade level.

Sadly,
most of the 68 percent who can't read well
are minority children and those who live in poverty.

The good news is that campuses in cities and towns
across the nation are creating high achievement
for these same children.

If some schools can do it,
then all schools are able
to do it.

NCLB resource file

The following research file contains various
No Child Left Behind funding allocations
for the 2002-03 school year.

The data is available by state,
school district and congressional district.

The file was developed using Microsoft Access 2000
as a database research file.

In its present format,
the file is only available as a downloadable
research tool and is not intended
to be an Internet-based query tool.

Because the data from which it was built
is public information and we believe is useful,
we are working
to provide a more user-friendly format as quickly as possible.

Instructions
for accessing the database:

Make sure you have Microsoft Access 2000
or Microsoft Access XP loaded on your computer.

(Once the database is an Internet-based query tool,
you will not need Microsoft Access
to open the file).

Download nclbresource.zip - 7.6Mb
to your hard drive.

Unzip nclbresource.zip and extract the database,
saving it
to your hard drive.

Open the database
with Microsoft Access 2000 or Microsoft Access XP.
