The Baltimore Sun reports, "President Bush's signature No Child Left Behind education law is headed for fundamental changes this year, including a likely softening of do-or-die deadlines.
School administrators long have complained about the annual deadlines, which punish schools that do not make enough progress toward having all children perform at their grade levels.
School officials also have rebelled at requirements that students with limited English or with learning disabilities perform as well as their grade-level peers.
Now, those issues are being taken up by congressional lawmakers across the political spectrum."
