Chairman Miller Statement on GOP Proposal to Spend Billions of Education Dollars With No Accountability
 

Thursday, March 15, 2007

WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-CA), chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, issued the following statement on Republican legislation announced today on No Child Left Behind:

"Our committee is engaged in a serious bipartisan effort to improve the No Child Left Behind law, based on understandable concerns with the law raised by parents, teachers, administrators, and others. Rather than work with us in a constructive way to improve the law, this group of Republican lawmakers is trying to dismantle it. Their irresponsible and unacceptable proposal would send billions of federal taxpayer dollars to the states with no accountability for how it is spent."
