But the needs of secondary schools are almost ignored in NCLB; therefore federal policy does little to support effective change. Further, little federal funding ever reaches high schools. NCLB reauthorization offers the opportunity to develop an appropriate role for the federal government that supports middle and high school reform across the country. Read more about how NCLB affects high schools, the Alliance’s call for reauthorization, recommendations, Congressional testimony, and information about key pieces of high school legislation.
