Recently, Alabama's request for a waiver from the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was granted.
The waived components (no longer apply) of No Child Left Behind
Act are:
- 100% proficiency in English Language Arts and mathematics by 2013-2014.
- AYP
- Schools and systems identified for improvement, corrective action and restructuring, except 116 (b) (13).
- Note: Section 1116 (b)(13), which requires a school to permit a child who has transferred to remain in the choice school through the highest grade in the school, was not waived.
- 20% set asides for school choice and SES
- 10% reserved for professional development
Plan 2020 is our new accountability plan. In the near future, a list of priority schools (~50 schools) and focus schools (~100 schools) will be finalized and released. This may or may not include schools identified by the AAA as persistently low performing (criteria differs). For more information, click
