The upcoming presidential election should reinvigorate conversation across the nation about public education and a comprehensive reform agenda. The federal government holds joint authority with states to control equitable education norms and to develop programs for realizing quality education goals. The interaction between federal and state governments on implementation and accountability issues, including the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as related to No Child Left Behind’s reauthorization, Common Core standards, and immigrant students, make any state’s responsiveness to federal policies a national concern with generational consequences. This panel will identify prevalent issues regarding federal education reform. Panelists will provide perspectives on the intersection between law and policy, systemic challenges confronting advocates, and viable forward paths. Attendees will be encouraged to participate in the question and answer period following the panel presentation.
