In this Education Week opinion piece, Tony Bennett, Indiana’s superintendent of public instruction and the chairman of Chiefs for Change, a bipartisan coalition of state education leaders committed to comprehensive education reform, supports the NCLB waiver. He writes:
In many ways, this state-led reform movement has blazed the trail for a federal system that operates in a similarly effective manner. States should have the freedom to innovate as long as they are willing to embrace strong and swift accountability measures. At the federal level, expectations for a waiver policy should be high and clearly defined.
