"GLENDALE — Sweeping changes to the main federal law governing public schools would likely benefit Burbank and Glendale unified school districts, administrators and board members said.The Obama administration is seeking changes to the 2002 No Child Left Behind Act that, with congressional approval, would transform school accountability and academic standards.
Schools would be set free from the 2014 deadline to have all students be proficient in math and English language arts. Instead, schools would be accountable to a new slate of standards and assessments that would prepare students for a career or a college education."
