OVERVIEW
Legislation, regulations, guidance, and other policy documents can be found here for No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and topics at the left. You may also want to see the ED budget and ED strategic plan.
Please note that in the U.S., the federal role in education is limited. Because of the Tenth Amendment, most education policy is decided at the state and local levels. So, if you have a question about a policy or issue, you may want to check with the relevant organization in your state or school district.
