US Dept of Education:

Duncan declares "ALL MEANS ALL"

"I want to say-here and now, for the record-we are moving away from the 2 percent rule," he stressed.  "We will not issue another policy that allows districts to disguise the educational performance of 2 percent of students."  Instead, he continued, "We have to expect the very best from our students-and tell the truth about student performance-so that we can give all students the supports and services they need." In prepared remarks to the American Association of People with Disabilities, Secretary Duncan declared students with disabilities should be judged with the same accountability system as everyone else.  Learn more and watch a video of Duncan's remarks.
