The state out of the education cellar. Well find out educations tie to nevadas doctor shortage as well. Now, last december the house passed legislation considered to be a Major Overhaul of federal education policy. The every Student Succeeds act would replace the previous version of the elementary and secondary education act, thats also known as no child left behind. With a new law that ends one size fits all accountability requirements included in its predecessor.
